Montenegro to Push Gun Control After Mass Murder

On January 1, 2025, a mass murder was committed with firearms in the European country of Montenegro. Twelve victims were killed. The perpetrator, Aco Martinovic, committed suicide. Martinovic had been previously convicted of possession of illegal weapons and was appealing his sentence. Four of the victims were shot in Martinovic’s home. He was drinking heavily before the event. From rferl.org:

PODGORICA — The Montenegrin government has announced a raft of new gun-control measures, following a mass shooting that killed 12 people, including two children.

The shooting took place on January 1 in the western Montenegrin city of Cetinje. Four other people were injured.

On August 12, 2022, another mass murder started with the murderer killing a mother and two children in his home. The killer then started killing random people in the city of Cetinje. Another seven victims were killed before an armed citizen stopped the rampage by shooting the murderer and killing him while the murderer was in a gunfight with police.  From rferl.org:

 The Action for Human Rights and the Center for Women’s Rights NGOs called for a thorough examination of the police response, saying that Cetinje had only a minimal police presence despite being home to 120 known organized crime members and having experienced a similar massacre in August 2022, when an attacker killed 10 people and wounded six before being killed by a passerby.

If a person looks only at these two incidents and the four-year period in which they occurred, Montenegro has had .91 people killed in mass public murder with firearms per 100K population per year.

Over a 20-year period, 1998-2017, the United States had .0079 people killed in mass public murders where firearms are used. The rate in Montenegro for 2022 – 2025 was 115 times as high

The article notes the comparison of Montenegro to the USA is not fair because of different size populations and years used in the calculation.

...before an armed citizen stopped the rampage ...

And they want the citizen’s gun — can’t have self defense.

Typical sequence.
Mad guy goes into a frenzy.
People yell at politicians to DO SOMETHING.
Politicians don’t like being yelled at, so they go after the guns.
It doesn’t solve anything.
People are less free.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns and citizens won’t be able to protect the police.

. Martinovic had been previously convicted of possession of illegal weapons

Apparently he was already barred from possessing guns BUT another law might stop what the other laws didn't.

--- "Martinovic had been previously convicted of possession of illegal weapons: --- AND was out of custody and able to again get an illegal weapon and commit murder.

Government is COMPLICIT.

Is Monteblackfolks part of the EUtopia farce? Don’t want to offend anyone by using the “n” word.
