It is far better to reform criminals - who could end up as productive citizens after their incarnation - and who might repent what they have been doing in the past - and try to stay away from crime after they are given their freedom back... And most people I suspect do that - try to make a better future than the past... most people who end up in prison even got education inside the prison - who make them more able to enter the free world...
Norway do not have any 2 amendment - weapon is a privilege nor a right - and even though many have weapons in their homes - as part of a deep rooted tradition of hunting - It is very seldom people have been known to use weapons to kill others - and most people I know - do not have any weapon at all - And even the ones I know have weapons - very seldom show it off - it is closed of in secure boxes - when not used... We just do not have the same gun-ho culture the US have - when it come to the use - and buying of firearms at all... In fact - weapons is strict regulated - and many types of weapons - who are legal in the US - can not legally be sold in Norway - even if you can get your hands on them - on the black market (yeah we do have a black market for this things too) But if you get arrested with illegal weapons - you can get a rather strict legal action against you - a great fine - and also prison time.. And the fine can be expensive to pay off...
