That's the thing isn't it? It is rare for a loved one of a murder victim to wait for venegence then snuff the perpetrator but occasionally it does happen. Each victim is likely to have at least several, perhaps dozens of deeply angry loved ones/friends etc. So in a case like this you've got hundreds, maybe thousands of friends and relatives who are really, really pissed off (not to mention very angry members of the public and even members of the prison population). I think the chances are strong that someone, sooner or later, is going to have a go at terminating Breivik.

It was my impression that most citizens in Norway are not permitted to own hi-cap automatic pistols or assault-type weapons? Is this incorrect? How'd the killer get a hold of all that firepower?

The media here has reported that the weapons used were legally owned and registered by Breivik.
