so that shooter in norway killed dozens of people

Being on an island.

No help for like 90 minutes.

Went back and shot the injured in the head with a shotgun to make sure they were dead.
 
It's easy to hit a target that is running in a straight line directly away from you, which is probably what they did when he started shooting. This thread is stupid, full of worthless speculation. I'm sure that even if the Norwegian government hadn't provided him with their highly intensive 15 session program on being an expert marksman, he would have included practice as part of his preparations for the massacre.
 
a LOT of places. that's a pretty huge forested area with multiple large buildings. he just gathered them all together in a group where he probably got most of them off the bat
 
Go to a range and put the paper in the back, put 10 rounRAB in it and see how you did. Now put the paper 15 feet away from you, put 10 rounRAB in it and see how you do.
 
if you can hit the broad side of a barn, you can probably rack up the same amount of kills. it has more to do with the amount of ammunition and how fast/long you can personally run
 
training or not, he was more effective because he was able to get the children to gather around him. Shooting classes wouldn't do much at that point. Fish in a barrel...
 
right yeah, so it is a backfire of some sort. but normally backfires are something that make you turn around entirely in your opinion of something. there's nothing here that would obviously make me change my mind about classes like that.

until i read something that tells me that these classes are in reality turning out killing machines who may or may not be your typical nice polite norwegian, it's just something ya gotta be like "fuck"

There are two ways of obtaining an ownership license in Norway. The most common is through the process of obtaining a hunting license, the other is through a sports shooting license.

For hunting
To obtain a hunting license, the applicant must complete a 30 hour, 9 session course and pass a written multiple choice exam. The course includes firearm theory, firearm training, wildlife theory, and environmental protection training.
Once the exam is passed, the applicant may enroll in the hunter registry and receive a hunting license. The merabership must be renewed each year, through license payment. The hunting license is brought to the police station, where the applicant fills out an application for obtaining the proper firearm for his or her hunt. After evaluation, part of the application is sent back to the applicant if it was approved. Upon approval, the applicant can take the returned form to the store and purchase the firearm listed in the application.

For sports shooters
The qualification process for sporting is theoretically easier, but requires more time and practice. The applicant must enroll in a firearm safety course, lasting at least 9 hours. The course includes a written test, but is shorter than the hunting exam, as it only deals with firearm safety. Two thirRAB of the course is completed on the shooting range as practice. The passing of the test results in acceptance to the approved gun club, and a license for competition. However, while the hunters can obtain their firearm almost at once, sports shooters must prove their intentions to compete by actively training or competing in the gun club. This means regular attendance (at least 15 times) at gun club training over the course of six months. The applicant must use firearms owned by the club or borrowed at the range for this period. After six months, the applicant may apply for weapon ownership. The start license and a written recommendation from the gun club president are brought to the police station, and the competition class is filled out on the application. If approved, it will be returned to the applicant as with the hunter license.
In both cases, if the application is rejected, the applicant is allowed an explanation of the reason, and an appeal
 
it depenRAB. given enough time, the size of the island, and how easy he was able to make the shots, it might or might not have been a real factor.
