    The message is that the people who put guns into the constitution didn't foresee AK-47s. You're just being willfully ignorant and throwing out ridiculous comments so I will go away. Pretty much expected that.

    Oslo never goes below an average low of 4C. Bergen has an average low of -10C. If it gets that cold it's probably more of a temporary inconvenience than day to day living.

    Average temperature in Norway in the last 5 years has never gone below -10C. Cold there is a temporary inconvenience and not a permanent fixture.

    Ok admittedly an EV may start to have problems at -11C but still not very cold. I think I could drive in a car and not heat the cabin at all at -11C.

    Those are very abnormal lows for Norway. How many times has it gone below a problem state for EVs which is -8C? I would live with an EV at -30C if it was only that temperature two days a year. It's a bit different than living with it for three months of the year.

    I posted a video depicting what guns were like when the constitution was written. Is that factually incorrect?

    Yes. I really didn't know it was that bad in the US. Sorry for trying to change your mind.

    I wear a t-shirt and shorts outside when it is -3C; as cold as Norway gets.

    I don't think you have really "tested" an EV unless you have lived with it for a month in -30C weather.

    It only goes down to -3C in Norway.

    Except the one thing you don't mention is that it only goes down to -3C. Isn't that the important thing about EVs? That they don't handle the cold very well?

    Thanks for admitting what no one else will.

  15. Norway is the perfect place for EVs on Over Half of Norway Car Sales Are Now Electric (reuters.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    - Norway is the size of California
    - Norway artifically makes ICE cars more expensive and subsidizes EVs with oil money yet people still have trouble finding chargers. They are non-existant in the mountains.
    - Norway never goes below -3C
    - All of Norway is 1619 km long. We have a completely ice road in Canada that is 750km by comparison.

    Norway is basically the perfect place for these cars.

    Well you know what, if you really need to protect yourself that badly, I don't know why you stay there. Move your family out for their own safety and live somewhere where you don't experience that violence. That is no way to live.

    Even if it is 100 stories per day that you hear (which I doubt, since you probably don't even read 100 news stories per day) that gives you a 0.000000305 percent chance of anything happening given 327 million people in the US.

    If you want to get rid of gangs, do that too. Who says we can't do both? Pretty sure people have been working on that one for a long time already though.

    You watch too many movies. You think a gun makes you some movie hero. It doesn't. It just creates more danger for everyone.

    Self defense is a fictional purpose because nowhere is life really that dangerous. You do not live in the wild west, we have police services. If you are having gun fights every day then I suggest you move, pronto. Even in violent America, you're not likely to be in a place where you need a gun to protect yoruself ever. Also, I seem to remember a gun being at one of the previous school shootings and being not much good at all. I don't blame the guy for not wanting to sacrifice his life for other people's kifs. Shot guns are for hunting, not assault rifles, if you want a two-load shotgun then fine. You already are defenseless if the government becomes tyrannical. How could you ever have enough weapons to stand up against a modern tank?
