This is true, but these people are too stupid to accept facts and feel better picking on the dangerous black rifle.
The fully semi automatic clip fed AR-15 that fires 9mm bullets that will blow a lung out is the real problem.
No… Just no.
Guns ARE a problem, as is mental health and the mindset of people.
But per capita Sweden has more houses with assault rifles (literally military provided rifles to national service citizens) but no mass shootings there?
I’m actually in favour of better gun control, but I can’t think of a truly practical way to achieve it.
The US pro gun people are in denial about the issue, and the US anti gun people are equally in denial about the true issues and facts, so much so that their cause is suffering for it.

What does a person in Sweden have to do to possess a gun? Additionally, what is their policy on ammunition?
Sweden had mandatory conscription from 1901 through to the cold war.
About 85% of men were conscripted.
The situation had changed more recently to a national service system.
All those who do combat or combat related service are issued an AK 4 (Swedish production of the H&K G3) rifle, or the more modern AK 5 based on the Belgian FN FNC.
Both of these are far superior ‘killing machines’ than a semi auto AR-15.
The newer AR5 will even run the same magazines as the AR15,
On completion of service the option is given to keep the rifle.
The government provides ammunition and access to training facilities so as people can remain proficient with their rifle.
More recently the keeping of ammunition at home has been banned but there is no doubt already millions of rounds in the wild.
This law has preparations to be lifted rapidly if required for an emerging security crisis.
Their new national service system now provides options for logistics and medical for those that don’t want to pickup a firearm.
Pretty good idea I think.
Clearly a different mentality and different state of national mental health in Sweden.
