The NRA Comes to Norway

The events are eerily similar.
In 1995, NRA member Timothy McVeigh bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City because he was a gunloon who was convinced the Government was going to take away his guns.  The motivation behind McVeigh's act of terror was create an uprising against a "tyrannical" Government. Tim McVeigh had a long history with the NRA and gunloonery; in fact, one could say the NRA created Tim McVeigh and was a co-conspirator in the terrorist attack in Oklahoma City.  McVeigh's extreme views were shaped by the NRA and militia extremism; the bomb he used came from a design from an NRA bulletin board.
The recent attacks in Norway were fairly identical.  The alleged terrorist had ties to right wing extremist groups and militias and believed an attack would create an uprising against a Government he disagreed with.
It can be argued that McVeigh was successful.  The NRA created someone who was able to kill over 300 Americans without any damage to itself.  In fact, the NRA is able to attack the BATF--McVeigh's primary target without penalty.
Now, what I know about Norway is about as much as Jon Sullivan (Linoge) knows about anything; that is, very liitle.  But I can guarantee an attack of this magnitude will cause Nowegians to demand stricter gun control as a response.  Why?  Because they understand they have a problem and are willing to work to prevent other such tragedies.  Sadly, the US will keep learning the lesson over and over again.
