Gun control only works against normal, law abiding people....for criminals, not so much...for foreign criminals who do not share the culture or values of the host country.....really not so much......
Sweden, we long for the days of the Swedish Bikini Team, but they left....afraid for their lives in gun controlled Europe...
Sweden’s violent reality is undoing a peaceful self-image
Gang-related gun murders, now mainly a phenomenon among men with immigrant backgrounds in the country’s parallel societies, increased from 4 per year in the early 1990s to around 40 last year. Because of this, Sweden has gone from being a low-crime country to having homicide rates significantly above the Western European average. Social unrest, with car torchings, attacks on first responders and even riots, is a recurring phenomenon.
Shootings in the country have become so common that they don’t make top headlines anymore, unless they are spectacular or lead to fatalities.
News of attacks are quickly replaced with headlines about sports events and celebrities, as readers have become desensitized to the violence.
A generation ago, bombings against the police and riots were extremely rare events. Today, reading about such incidents is considered part of daily life.
