Sweden to tighten gun laws following mass shooting

ai generated text

On Tuesday, a mass shooting occurred at the Campus Risbergska adult education centre in Rebro, Sweden, resulting in the deaths of 11 people. The perpetrator, identified as 35-year-old Swedish recluse Rickard Andersson, shot and killed 7 women and 3 men before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide. Andersson had a legitimate license to own at least 4 weapons, but the type of weapon used in the shooting is still unknown. The Swedish government has pledged to tighten gun control laws, including restrictions on AR-15-style semiautomatic weapons, and to improve vetting procedures for firearms licenses.

    1. We know that kind of weapon, with some changes, can become very dangerous and also that it has been used in that kind of shooting in other countries.
    2. In light of the horrible shooting in Orebro earlier this week we believe that the right balance is to roll back the regulation and prohibit that kind of weapon.

    2. We have to ensure that only the right people have guns in Sweden.
