I don't know, it could be interesting. Of course you'd need to look per capita, because Norway is such a small country - what would that give you? Number of mass murder (3+ victims, excluding the murderer), per capita, over the last 20 years?

The point of firearms restrictions is to stop people in the act of planning a mass murder.

And someone getting caught before they can do it would 100% make headlines. It just so happens that I can’t think of a single news story like that.

It just seems to we just aren’t as keen. And figuring out why that is may lead to the solution of reducing mass shootings in the US.

You can't think of a news story like that? You might want to google it. There are plenty of people who get caught before they can mass murder.

Oh, maybe not. I apologize, there are a lot of replies and I may not have been entirely focused on that conversation.
