apparently there are a lot of guns in Finland....


And very polite but ineffective police:

'Police reached him on Monday, September 22, and asked him
to be interviewed regarding the shooting video," Ms Holmlund
said.'

Why am I not surprised?

Every country has angry young males. Combine that with guns, and inevitably
there will be casualties.

Before wondering, check out the percentage of gun ownership in Finland
compared to other countries. It's pretty much near the top.

I wasn't really wondering.

Must admit I bungled but on second thoughts maybe it will give him a chance
to answer without really answering.

yes true, but with guns you often get these high kill numbers. Between the
last gun outrage in Finland and this one many youths have stabbed each
other in UK, but it doesnt make guns good.


Don't get me wrong, I wasn't even hinting that guns were good, just
unnecessary.

Prime minister Vanhanen has speculated by a possibility that all hand guns
will become illegal in civilian hands by a new set of laws. I hope it will
be so. It is just madness that many innocent people have to die just because
a coward "hates the mankind". It would be easier to handle these faggots
then.

I guess the Finnish police is pretty effective. It is true that the police
is short of resources. Perhaps ms. Holmlund might want to comment this. Heh,
heh. Anyways, the problem is not to whom a sheriff grants permission to own
a handgun. It is the law. Handguns should be replaced by dartboards.
