This was an awful crime, but over the last five years, violent crime has been at a historic low – lower than it’s been for 50 years. Norway has very strict gun laws and had the worst mass shooting in history. But we shouldn’t concentrate on mass shootings. We should be concentrating on the daily death toll from gun violence. Over the next month, far more than nine people will lose their lives to gun violence. And a lot of it won’t be in the newspaper
