As we face a firearm crisis in America today, its time for hunters to stop hiding behind the Second Amendment and claim the moral high ground as our nations responsible gun owners.
Heres how the Swedish system works: Only responsible people are trusted with firearms. Sweden licenses guns in much the same way we license cars and drivers. You can have up to six guns but can get more with special permission.
To apply for a firearm permit you must first take a year-long hunter training program and pass a written and shooting test. You can also apply for a gun permit if youve been a member of an established shooting club for six months.
In addition to undergoing training, Swedens gun owners must store their firearms safely. Guns must be locked away in a vault, not stored beneath your car seat or in the nightstand where your kids can find them.

What “firearm crisis?”
We need this law to help deal with high gun ownership areas like Vermont and Maine. Oops, I forgot that these two states (particularly Vermont) are among the least violent in the Western world, let alone the United States.
We don’t have a gun problem.
We’ve got a nitwit problem.
The only firearms crisis that Sweden has is that they are not using them on the Muslim “refugees.”
We don’t have a gun problem.
We’ve got a nitwit problem.
Do similar for voters & voting and I’ll THINK about it
Darn double post...
Tom Heberlein needs to stop hiding behind the First Amendment and embrace the Russian idea that only trustworthy individuals should be licensed as reporters.
I don’t really give a tiny pinch of crap what they do in Sweden. This is the U.S.A., where we have that pesky Second Amendment, with that “shall not be infringed” part.
“In addition to undergoing training, Swedens gun owners must store their firearms safely.”
Yeah, Americans are soooo stoopid’ that we just leave guns lying around the house like the kitchen, coffee table, the kids playroom (s/)
Sweden does not have the Second Amendment.
That’s their crisis.
If Swedes had more guns, their women wouldn’t have to wear bracelets asking the muslims not to rape them.
>>Oops, I forgot that these two states (particularly Vermont) are among the least violent in the Western world, let alone the United States.
They aren’t so non-violent because of guns. But, we can’t mention the real reason in modern society.
“Sweden licenses guns in much the same way we license cars and drivers.”
I’ve lost count on how many states give DLs, SSIs and other US/state documents to illegals now.
Exactly
The Second Amendment isn't about hunting, Tom, you ignorant slut! It's about preventing or ending tyranny. So take your euro-socialist faggotry, Tom, and shove it.
He can’t be referring to Chicago where guns are banned?
