We are told European gun control is wonderful, but this is a lie. The only thing keeping Europe from out of control gun violence is their criminals, choosing not to murder people. Fully automatic military weapons are easily acquired in Europe by criminals....and of all places, Sweden is a place of guns and grenades....
Why? Changing demographics........due to immigration....
And this is why I say culture, not normal gun owners, is the difference between the U.S. and Europe...and their culture is changing, becoming more and more violent.
Perhaps Sweden should pass a law banning hand grenades? The question people need to ask is why Sweden hasn't banned hand grenades.......?
No, Sweden, hand grenade attacks aren’t an ‘image’ problem
In 2018 there were 162 bombings reported to police, and 93 reported in the first five months of this year, 30 more than during the same period in 2018. The level of attacks is “extreme in a country that is not at war,” Crime Commissioner Gunnar Appelgren told SVT last year.

The use of hand grenades is a purely Swedish phenomenon too, with no other country in Europe reporting their use on such a level, a police manager told Swedish Radio in 2016, a year after attacks first spiked.
The grenades used almost exclusively originate in the former Yugoslavia, and are sold in Sweden for around $100 per piece. But while only three hand grenades were thrown in Kosovo between 2013 and 2014, more than 20 have been used in Sweden every year since 2015.
More broadly, homicide has risen in Sweden, with more than 300 shootings reported last year, causing 45 deaths. Though homicide rates had been in decline since 2002, they again began trending upwards in 2015, as did rapes and sexual assaults, which more than tripled in the last four years.
Of course, 2015 was also the year in which Sweden flung open its doors to more than 160,000 asylum seekers, more per capita than any other European country.

Dagens Nyheter pointed out that 90 percent of shooting perpetrators in Sweden are either first or second generation immigrants.
