Yeah...Crime in Sweden getting out of control...especially in Malmo...

[2aguy]

I have been reporting on the crime increasing in Sweden, mainly to highlight the fact that their criminals get guns just as easily as American criminals do, and they even get grenades easily. Sweden used to be less violent when the composition of the country was basically Swedish....similar economics, same culture...no reason to go kill each other...

Now....they are importing criminals to commit the crimes Swedish nationals won't do......

And you see the one of the same factors that you see here in the states....not enough police....

A Tale of Two Cities: Retired Police Chief Talks Malmo to Breitbart London

Recalling his early days on the force, Elofsson said the nature and volume of crime in Malmo had changed significantly, going from the organised crime perpetrated by biker gangs decades ago to the migrant crime boom of modern Sweden. Despite the population of Malmo growing by a 50 per cent in 20 years, the amount of crimes committed has increased out of all proportion – and the number of officers available to police the streets has halved.

The reasons for this are complex, Elofsson explains. As Malmo becomes a less easy place to police, officers with any experience request to transfer elsewhere, leaving the force with mainly young, rookie cops. These officers are at the typical time of life to get married and have children, and generous Swedish child care leave laws can take professionals, both male and female, away from their jobs for months at a time. This “negative circle”, as Elofsson calls it, combined with again generous annual leave allowance can render much of Malmo with no police officers at all over the summer, as Breitbart London discovered when it called on an empty police station this week.

And I have said that Europe's criminals are just culturally behind their American criminal counterparts. They have easy access to fully automatica military rifles, grenades and pistols...they just didn't use them as often....

Now...they are starting to use them.

“We are part of the Schengen treaty, so you have that freedom of movement which has also brought criminality here… Gun and drug related crime has definitely increased. Until recently the possession of guns by criminals was very rare – now finding people with firearms is a daily occurrence here… most of the guns we seize are used in criminal activity, are held illegally, and are smuggled into Sweden.

“Slovakia is very interesting right now – it is very easy to buy deactivated guns there but they are converted back when they are imported here”.

But....I thought guns were strictly controlled in Europe......

Reality check.

Now back to the daily lie-fest about how guns make us safer.

Yeah...notice the word "homicide" vs. murder.....they lump in suicides which do not count since Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, Poland and Hungary all have extreme gun control....and have higher suicide rates than we do.

And of course you left out the fact, the fact, that according to Bill Clinton's Department of Justice study on guns...created by 2 anti gun researchers, who created the study, and implemented the study......they found that each year 1.5 million people use guns to defend themselves against violent criminal attack.....saving lives in the process, keeping women from being raped, and more people from being murdered.

Of course, the average of studies that do not include police and military defensive gun uses puts the number on average at 2 million.....and obama commissioned the CDC in 2013 to study all available research on guns, giving them 10 million dollars to do it....and found that normal people use guns between 500,000 and 3 million times a year.....

You forgot to point that out.....

And the fact that concealed carry lowers the crime rate...especially for those people carrying guns for self defense....right now that number is over 12.8 million people...and our gun crime, crime in general and gun accident rate is going down, not up.

Game, set, and match.

The point of the original thread was different.

CC's strawman is worthless.

Thanks for posting.

I don't even own a gun......and I know the difference.
