That's just terrible. I'm sorry to hear about that.
Note to terrorists: Attack a large group of people whom you know are unarmed.
it looks like nobody on the island had a gun. once again, some lives could have been spared if more people were armed.
Is this Norway's 9/11? They may be beating around the bush about it, but in the end it will come out that this guy was radicalized by the "religion of peace".

I thought it was Islamic terrorists also, first reports mirrored a Mumbai style attack with coordinated explosions and small arms assault but while this a$$hole may have been influenced by that he may be 100% home grown with no connection to Islamist terrorists at all. Time will hopefully tell.
RIP the dead and speedy recovery for the wounded.
He's actually an 'anti- Muslim'- a right winger. Usually, in Europe, that means NeoNazi. He choose the camp becuase it was 'Labor' (left wing) affliated.

Next time you tell someone you are Right Wing, think about who you are jumping into bed with.

Norway is not an island, see map:

Very sad, however,very interesting that european reporters dont focus on the weapon. No mention of the kind of weapon etc.. They actually put the blame and spotlight on
the madman... not the gun !!

Probaly referring to Utoya where the shootings took place.
Yea, Mumbai style attack. It works.
May the souls rest in peace.
That is a bad scenario here in the NYC area.
Multiple strikes at the same time too.
I thought Norway was a gun-free zone? no?

Gun-free zone == a victim-rich environment for terrorists.

No, Norway does allow gun ownership but with limitations and limits.
It boggles the mind, a slaughter on this scale by one shooter? This camp is allegedly for the children of Labor Party government officials and there apparently no or ineffective security, Bet that's going to change. One thing though, if there had been more shooters as there was at Mumbai I don't know if anyone on the island would have survived. :'(

Only if you're in Europe. Or are you saying if I identify myself in the US as right wing most people will think Nazi racist? And if I sat left wing they'll instantly assume radical Marxist agitator bent on the overthrow of the US?

Therefore I should adjust my verbiage so to make it more PC?
It just shows that no matter how oppressive or restrictive the gun laws are there will alway be a way for the criminal or crazy to get a firearm.
