Sweden is planning gun bans and tighter gun control after the country’s stringent controls failed to a prevent a February 4, 2025 school shooting.
On February 4, Breitbart News reported at least five people were killed in the shooting. On February 7, Reuters noted the reported number of deceased had increased to eleven.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer told Reuters they are looking to ban AR-15 rifles as a “preventative measure.” Strommer said this even though the specific type of firearm(s) used in the attack has not been reported.
Authorities have only indicated that the attacker, a 35-year-old man, had rifles with him which he was licensed to own.
BBC noted that Sweden also plans “to increase vetting around gun purchases.”

The left’s response to violence committed by criminals with guns is always to ban law abiding citizens from owning them and defending th3mselves from the criminals with guns
Man’s laws do not usurp God’s laws and rules, and mankind has an inalienable right to self defense!
Wouldn’t it be easier for Sweden to publicly admit its plans for Sweden to simply become extinct?!
is Sweden the country that’s run by women and a few soy boys?
The US schools largest killing involved arson. Ban fire.
and when these killer smarten up and just start using cars to ram into crowds of people instead? will they ban cars then also?
Mabe one of the new firearms purchase requirements should be identifying the purchaser by name, race, physical description, etc. This will be a new concept — based on the excerpt the Swedes have yet to id the mass murderer beyond “35 year-old man”.
Sweden had people with guns for decades - centuries for that matter - and no gun violence. Now they have mass shootings and other violence. I wonder what changed . . . . . /sarc
Thus guaranteeing more such attacks as the sane citizenry are disarmed too.
Let me guess, the scool was a “Gun free zone”?
Good move didnt stop him
Swedes. A colder version of southern Canadians. Geesh.
