';In Finland there are 56 privately owned weapons per 100 civilians. Only the United States (90) and Yemen (61) have more heavily armed civilian population according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.';

Gun crime is rife in America, but they will never out law them because its in their stupid constitution. I'm glad i dont live in a country where any nutter can own a gun!!Does the Finland school shooting highlight the lunacy of American-style gun 'laws'..........?
America wanted to dominte the world, they certainly have brainwashed a few to carry out an attack like this
Never can i understand this type of crime but to say America is in anyway to do with Finland shows the level of hate you carry.The norm of feeling towards Scandinavia is of peace loving gentle folks,but in any community there can be a Hunger ford style killer.Its not as if America invented killing,and considering there is every nationality,colour,creed,religion,and twerp living there,how can you not be Racist or Hateful when everything that happens on this planet is because of something they did
Yes and No.





The sheer number of shootings of every description in the US is what highlights the lunacy of 'US style' lack of gun laws.





For example, when I was recently in the Caribbean where only US TV channels were available, on every single day of the week there was a report of a school 'lockdown' caused by some sort of reported incident, many by suggestions of possible guns in the vicinity.


In the US school students are no longer allowed to take anything into school that may contain any sort of weapon i.e. even a small handbag, and this is policed by private Security guards, who are obviously not too bright as while we were there it was one stopped a female student who was carrying a handbag and told her that she was not allowed to bring any bag at all into school unless she was on her period!


This shows the ridiculous lengths the US now has to go to


protect people against the guns that they can 'legally' carry.





This is, I believe, the 1st incident of it's kind in Finland despite the relatively high gun ownership.


And, of course, the stringent gun laws here in the UK did not prevent the Hungerford incident.
The NRA will never go away...and 'You'll have to pry my gun from my cold dead fingers'.
In the UK the Yobs have guns and don't bother about whether it is legal or not. Gun laws are a joke. Our gun laws spoilt it for the serious sportsman and did nothing to stop gun crime. If anything it is worse now.
