It means that Breivik was able to shoot a lot of people in a country with strict gun laws. And so did the terrorists in France and Belgium.

This is true, but these incident are extremely rare in these countries/regions, and even a one-off in Norway, while they're becoming increasingly common in the US. It doesn't take a genius to figure that more guns in general circulation and ownership, legal or otherwise, increases the chances of gun-related incidents. Same as increased traffic causing more accidents, it's one step below 101 as far as cause and effect go.

Except there isn't even correlation.
