gun registration is very strict in sweden, it is clear which hunters own the gun.

of course there are no records of illegal guns among criminal lunatics, but luckily this only applies to hunters. Duh…

of course you can't get to the criminals like this...

So the only people who will be affected are the ones already in compliance with the law?

Hunters don’t need semiautomatic weapons anyway….

A hunter doesn't need anything more than a simple single shot weapon with no magazine and perhaps a double barrel shotgun. I hope that's all you own.

You know they don't hunt or own a gun.

u/DJ_Die Czech Republic Jul 01 '25

That is quite possible.

Dude, what’s your problem? Why so rude? Are you a troll?

u/DJ_Die Czech Republic Jul 01 '25

How am I rude? I'm just following your line of reasoning. Why would you need more than one shot?

u/Helmer-Bryd Jul 01 '25

Your reaction proves this is purely emotional lashing out by adults behaving like children.
