Could be but Sweden also is having issues with immigrant population doing a lot gun crime too

Canadian question. How are Sweden immigrants getting their hands on firearms? And why would they commit gun violence?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 year ago

Sweden is a gun country. Before joining NATO and now really, everyone was expected to fight Russians if they invade.

I am not sure how it works legally tbh. But migrant population didn't integrate well and criminal elements took over youth. Either Russia or islamist are doing ops.

Compared to attacks by Islamic extremists, attacks by far-right extremists are of smaller scale but more frequent. Between 2001-2016, 179 people were killed in 85 attacks in western Europe. Research shows that Sweden has the highest number of extreme-right murders per capita, followed by Germany, mainly targeting immigrants, left-wing activists and the homeless.
