I think it is a huge difference between the crimes on Iceland - and the crimes who is happening in the US, mostly because I think the differences between rich and poor is so smaller in Iceland than in the US... And also because Iceland is a far smaller community than US - in Iceland I would say to a degree, everyone know each other - and that makes for a less willingness to do huge crimes - when everyone in the country know someone who know you... It is the same issue in Norway - specially in smaller communities - everyone know who you are - even if you do not know who they are... In the small place I grow up in - most know who, to a degree who I was - and could call home if I had being doing some mischief - with consequences when I got home..

Weapons - that be on Iceland - or in Norway are not illegal - but it is not easy to get your hands on them - if you do it legal - you have to check your records - and even take an ovulation on your mental capacities if the authorities are Norw sure if you should have a weapon or two - and then you also have to be part of a shooting club - and train regularly - and be part of that club for at least 6 mounts - and it is the police station, or the local sheriff office (for the sake of argument, it is a sheriff office, even if it is called Lennsmannskontor in Norwegian) and it is rather strict to get it - you even have to take a exam, to be able to won a weapon at all... But if you make that type of hurdles - and your mental capacity is "Okay" - then you can get a weapon - depending of your needs and your pocket - but I suspect still - you would not get excess to many of the weapons americans sees as natural to own...

For the most part, people who hunt- is really responsible gun owners - at least the ones I have known have never used weapons outside of the time when it is legal to hunt - Some of my extended family was, and are still vivid hunters - and they had some weapons in their possession - but outside of the hunting season - you would never believe they ever had any weans at all - because it was locked down in a specially container - in a specially room in the outhouse - who was closed - and the key was hidden so we kids never was able to found it - even if we had been trying - and I think we, from young age learned that weapons was not a thing to play with.....

I think it is down to one thing - GUN-CULTURE - or the total lack of it in the States case... In most other countries, who have weapons - and who hunt animals now and then - you have a whole different attitude when it comes to weapon.... You do not need to get to Europe to get a whole different culture about guns - you have just to travel to Canada - your nabour - and they have a whole different way of looking at guns as a right - or a privilige you have made yourself deserve by taking classes, getting education on and so one - most countries do not have any 2 amendment - it is a privilege to have a gun - similar to have a driving license - who are not a human right, outside of the States..

In the case of Norway - it exist between 1 and two million guns and other weapons in the country - in a population of 5 million people- but you seldom hear many got killed in Norway do you - outside of Anders Brick -who killed 80 people - and blow up most of the government offices in Oslo.... And you have to get 70 year back in time - to get anything at the same level as he did.. But then again - he Will never see the day when he is a free man either - so I guess it solve itself out somehow...
