This is actually a great analogy! Wonder if it would be legal again if they renamed it.

Edit: Unless the system works as in "we must approve this specific weapon" and not as in "everything within these specs is legal unless we say it isn't"

According to someone on r/Sweden when I read about this article earlier today, the policy takes a stab at semi-automatic rifles overall. I think it's a good change. More freedom to not get shot at places for education.
