The Spin
Narrative A
Tuesday's tragedy should act as a wake-up call. Allowing children to have licenses to use someone else's weapon or considering lowering the legal age to carry a firearm could spiral the world's happiest country into one where unacceptable youth gun violence is more prevalent.
Narrative B
Due to strict gun laws, school shootings are extremely rare in a country of hunters and gun enthusiasts. As the motive isn't clear yet, it's too early to blame the Finnish gun owners for Tuesday's deeply upsetting shooting.
