What's up with Iceland's gun culture and gun laws.

It’s a tiny island nation with a low population and demographic homogeneity. They don’t have very loose gun laws because they mostly don’t need them beyond hunting. 20 years old age req. Have to pass a background check and provide character references. Medical/Mental Health exam. Class and a test. Your initial license will get you a small rifle or double barrel shotgun. You have to wait a year for a semiautomatic shotgun or bigger caliber rifle. No handguns. No semiautomatic rifles. The cops don’t even carry over there.

>>65608068>tiny island nation with a low population and demographic homogeneityAnd 98% literacy rate, so that's nice.
>>65608076Yeah I mean it’s basically proof of what a society needs to look like for the liberal idea of a utopia to exist.>Small population>Low population density>Homogenized culture>Isolated geographically to prevent major drug importation or border jumping>Simple economy centered around fishing and aluminum powered by renewable hydrothermal and providing good paying jobs>Low consumption rates of those resourcesIt’s basically a big trailer park without the meth. The only real concern is volcanoes but that also gives them almost entirely free energy so the risk/reward there is pretty good and having to import everything making it expensive.

>>65608168There goes the neighborhood.
>>65608101That and the limitless geothermal power they have
>>65608068>>65608101>homogeneous That's been incorrect for years, the enshitification is underway
>>65606822Icelandic guy here, from what I know we have a surprisingly vibrant gun culture out in the countryside.I know for a fact that there are tons of WWI and II guns hiding out in a lot of farmer's gun cabinets, including a surprising amount of handguns, mostly because people would buy surplus after the wars for use in hunting and as sheep guns and customs didn't really care to check the caliber at the time.There's also a lot of submachineguns that come up whenever the police get involved with gangs and the more objectionable criminal elements here, I've seen a lot of interesting things like mp28, mp34, various berettas, mp40's, even a grease gun or two in the photos the police publish when they seize illegal weapons. The most insane thing though was a MG42 with waffenamt on it, that feels a little overkill for shooting reindeer with.There was also a very public controversy involving the father of the chief of police, where he was offering conversions for various semi auto guns to full auto, especially smuggled in AR-15 and AK type rifles. His daughter tried to cover it up through leveraging her office but ultimately failed when some of the officers who raided her father's house leaked it to the press.
>>65608313how the fuck do you guys have a gang scene there's less than 400k of you
>>65608332Gangs will naturally spring up when people (usually kids) feel ostracized from society or just bored in general. Most of the gangs here in Iceland are just kids being annoying but just like in scandinavia proper, we also have biker gangs and such nonsense.But foreign gangs are the bigger problem. We have Polish, Lithuanian, and Romanian gangs here, luckily they are fairly small, but they don't hesitate to bring out knives and other weapons if they feel the need to.It is still really surprising to me that arming the police is still such a controversial topic, crime is very much on the rise and the police have been complaining about feeling unsafe for years now.
>>65608168>It's da joosBecause a single random can dictate a nation's immigration policy.
>>65606832>greenlandWhen the Icelanders first found it, it was forested. Erik the Red stood to gain quite a bit if it was successfully settled and he was mindful of marketing when he named it, but he wasn't being completely dishonest. A good portion of it was indeed green.>>65607061You'll find that the period of settlement and self-sufficiency coincides very closely with the Medieval Warm Period and ends with the same. Today's Greenland imports something like 80% of its food. Its two biggest industries are fishing and Danish subsidies. It could not remain settled today without heavy foreign assistance.

Today's Greenland imports something like 80% of its food. Its two biggest industries are fishing and Danish subsidies. It could not remain settled today without heavy foreign assistance.It wasn't actually that much warmer, fairly marginally. What made the big difference in survival was that union with Norway meant only Norwegian ships could sail to and from Greenland, and when the plague hit Norway in 1350, ships carrying supplies stopped arriving in Greenland. At that point it was entirely on its own, and they lasted perhaps 100 years after Norwegian ships stopped coming.
>>65608068Fucking fags. We should have annexed them for their own good.
>>65608404Post nose.
>>65609071So it can be overflowing with niggers and kikes?
>>65609073I'm not going to potentially dox myself for the sake of your schizophrenia.>You're a kikeEven if I was it wouldn't make what I've said any less correct.
>>65608168what a productive activist, he did all this in a year. king of paperwork!
>>65609161Jews are extremely efficient when it comes to any legal. Their primary texts are centuries of religious lawfare and "How tos"
>>65608404When they're default part of a cabal, yes.
>>65609161He somehow managed to shift a government's position on a hot button issue rather than the infinitely more likely and less schizo scenario of that being where said government was going anyway.
>>65608168>arrises in Iceland and menorah has 7 candles>Hanukkah is dec 4 thru 12 (current year +0)>paper shows drasha given feb 17th with 7 Hanukkah candlesWhat witchery is this? I sense a Decepticon at work.
>>65608503>wasn't actually that much warmerAccording to the experts, it wasn't as warm as it is now. Granted, they were able to engage in subsistence farming back then and the growing season today is only 3 weeks long, but they're the experts. Not that it matters.>after Norwegian ships stopped comingThe ships never stopped coming anon. They were still practicing Norse customs and clothing fashions right up until the end, even as they evolved on the mainland. You don't think that they learned what the mainlanders were doing on the Internet, do you? More to the point, the settlements were abandoned by the people that abandoned them. Where did they go and how did they get there?>it's quite likely that they weren't *entirely* abandoned but that's neither here nor there
>>65609186>The ships never stopped coming anonNot true. Norway left Greenland to its own devices because of the plague and afterward just never went back. Do you think the only thing keeping them Norse was ships that weren't coming? They arrived Norse, and died as basically 13th century euros
>>65609186Plague anon is right. Greenland was abandoned and left to starve. They lacked arable land, lacked grazing land (because they over grazed and killed it all), and were too retarded to adapt to the local environment in the local hunter gatherer tradition (not that they could because even Viking euro society was too centralized for that). Also cooling climate. Also no economy.>>65608332Their gang scene is statistically insignificant. They're spoiled welfare queens who have (historically) lived in a sheltered nanny state with no brown or slavic people. This has started to change and so a handful of immigrants are doing mild crime and they now have "gangs".>>65608250About a quarter of the population is either first or second generation immigrant. So yeah, basically correct. Most of those immigrants are Poles, followed by other slavs. Not great not terrible. It's funny because as a nurse and normal, adult male with a bunch of money and multiple masters degrees they basically won't let me in even if I hypothetically learned their medieval wizard language due to random beaurocratic shit.>>65606822They're almost UK-tier. No semis of any kind. Just bolt action 22's, milsurp, and shotguns. There are a very large number of gun owners in rural areas, however. They're fabulously cucked, but many of them do own firearms. There's 0 domestic firearms manufacturing, 0 dangerous wildlife, minimal crime, and so no reason for their government to let them be armed. There is also no reason for a any USA style >muh freedoms culture to exist. They've been somebody's bitch for hundreds of years and thr viking days are long gone. In any case they disarmed relatively quickly precisely because their small, isolated population couldn't tolerate extended viking-style feuding.
>>65609276It’s going to be interesting seeing how they adjust with their cultural enrichment. When they have more welfare recipients weighing them down and ghettoization in Reykjavik leading to regular stabbings odds are they’ll go bong and start trying to ban butter knives but it would be refreshing for them to go the other way for once.
>>65609375You know they always end up blaming themselves not doing enough, when it comes to this kind of thing the world over
>>65609276>It's funny because as a nurse and normal, adult male with a bunch of money and multiple masters degrees they basically won't let me in even if I hypothetically learned their medieval wizard language due to random beaurocratic shit.Nothing contributes to society quite like......nothing. I had that revelation years ago when I went through a phase where I wanted to leave the US, other countries only want you if you're brown and have absolutely nothing to offer
>>65609276>in the local hunter gatherer traditionThere wasn't one, no one was there when the Norse arrived, and it wasn't until around 1300 the Inuit landed in northern Greenland, and it appears contact between the two people's was minimal. I'll say that I do believe there was some resistance to change, as they did their best to replicate European ways of life on Greenland.
>>65609205>>65609276>only norway had shipsIt's all so tiresome.
>>65611011It was the only country that was legally allowed to sail to and from Greenland.Your arrogance is tiresome
>>65609071Get real anon, we ruin (negrify) everything we touch. Icelandic people don't deserve that
>>65608404You are right, its an entire ethnic group
>>65611642Ethnicities aren't monolithic hive minds, and even if they were they wouldn't conform to your preconceived notions of them.
>>656117339 times out of 10, they do band together. And yes, minority groups ARE predictable. Super fucking weak lefty gaslighting attempt
>>65606822What blew up?
>>65611761Go back to your Ukraine containment threads
>>65610837They serve the all important purpose of reducing the White population share so it's easier to sell the narrative "Europe was always brown and gay" >>65599072
>>65611738>Anything which contradicts my schizo conspiracy theories is "lefty gaslighting"Grim.
>>65613330See>>65613328
>>65613328The latter is certainly true, I needn't tell you about ancient Greece but even in Italy homosexuality was notable, particularly amongst the Etruscans. The two primary contributors to what would become modern Europe had no shortage of gayness.
>>65611018What an absolutely European thing to say. I'm sure you realize that right now, at this very minute, there are ships carrying something (usually petroleum, maybe drugs, maybe bootleg products) that they're not supposed to be carrying, to places that they're not legally able to carry it to. The vast majority of those shipments will get to where they're going, and this is in a world of satellite surveillance, aircraft, high speed patrol boats, telephones, radios, radars, and the internet. We're talking about an era where none of this existed, and your base of operations was just about 2,000 miles away from the place that you were supposed to be patrolling with ships that took many months to make that journey, didn't always successfully make the trip, might stop by once a year or two when things were busy - and weren't actually sailing during the period of time that we're discussing. This would normally be speculative, but again, exhumed corpses have shown us that clothing fashions in the western settlement were keeping pace with what was happening back on the continent right up to the end, so they were making contact with Europe somehow. Ships are the logical guess but if you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it.
>>65609181You realize articles can use pictures not taken at the time or location of their writing, yes?
>>65613486Fake news. Most places in Greece had strict laws against faggotry, with penalties ranging from public flogging (Timarchus 139) to death (for pederasty, Timarchus 184). Xenophon and Aristotle both condemned it as degenerate.Maybe in the pre-Roman era it was tolerated, and it certainly happened in Rome but it was anything but "accepted."
