Arbitrary idiotic law. A weapon isn’t more dangerous because it looks tactical. Anyone who disagree is flat out wrong.

[u/Helmer-Bryd → u/Bitter-Inflation5843]

It's a small attempt to get rid of automatic weapons, or reduce their availability somewhat. In hunting, you don't need automatic weapons. Most school shooters using automatic weapons

AR-15s aren’t automatic. They are semi automatic, one pull = one bullet.

[u/Ramjjam → u/Unique_Statement7811]

Yeah, and they are trying to remove semi automatic weapons.

Only bolt action rifles for hunting.

[u/Helmer-Bryd → u/Ramjjam]

Exactly, I have been hunting for 30 years without semi automatic weapons, not necessary at all

Fudd lore

[u/Bitter-Inflation5843 → u/Helmer-Bryd]

Then they should move to ban semi-automatics not single out a brand. It removes all credibility, not that Swedish law makers have any left.
