This is hysterical... The cops don't have any weapons and thus a criminal who wants to kill people can even kill the police...
What kind of country runs itself like this? It is almost scary that people could be so naive and immature...
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/world/europe/26police.htmlUnsettling Wariness in Norway, Where Police Are Rarely ArmedOSLO — When a man dressed in a police uniform began slaughtering young people at a Norwegian summer camp last week, one of the first to be killed was a real police officer named Trond Berntsen, who for years had worked in security at the camp.
Whether Officer Berntsen tried to stop the gunman is still being debated. But facing a man carrying multiple guns and ample ammunition, there was little he could do. Like most other police officers here, he had no weapon.
By law, Norwegian police officers must have authorization from their chief to gain access to a firearm, but they have rarely needed to ask, until recently. Violent crime has been steadily increasing, jolting a society used to leaving doors unlocked and children to play without fear. Coupled with growing criticism over the police’s slow response time to the attacks and confusion about the death toll, which was lowered Monday to 76 from 93, there are growing questions about whether the police are equipped to deal with the challenges.

If this is not a case of 'gun control' gone wild I don't know what is... Anyone who has a gun in Norway must feel like a superhuman...
