You can't even get a permit for a revolver in this country even if you risk getting killed by bears. To learn more about gun laws and Swedish society in general, check out my new book "The Madhouse" at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046ZS2PA .

  • umm guys the proof is in the proverbial pudding. sweden and japan (since someone brought that up) both have lower violent crime(includes rape) and murder rates. this incidentally comes from the fact that people without the means to be violent often wont be. also sweden is kicking americas ass economically because they dont have trillions in debt. so america keep your guns and rapists while the rest of the world live civilized without the need to possess deadly weapons

  • @dpedskiz I'm afraid you're mistaken. Sweden today has a higher rate of violent crime than the USA does. The rape and assault rates are about twice as high here in Sweden as in the USA. And the typical American affords almost twice as much private consumption as the typical Swede. In the CIA world fact book of 2009, Sweden had fallen as low as #30 when it comes to GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity. Sweden is in a complete mess today. See my other videos for these figures.

  • It's about arms control. They want to stripe you any ability to defend yourself. Japan not only has strict gun control laws but also sword control laws. They are also pushing tougher knife laws and offensive weapon laws. The government-corporate cabal doesn't want you to be to fight back.

  • @PATTONM14A1 I agree there. Here in Sweden, you're not allowed to carry anything remotely resembling a weapon in public - knives are illegal, as well as nightsticks etc. You can keep these in your home, but you can be imprisoned if you carry them in public, whether hidden or visible.

  • All swedes right to keep and bear arms are infringed each day. This right is a natural right and the Swedish government is tyrannical to say the least when they infringe upon me and every other swede! I say proper gun laws like Switzerland or the USA is the way to go!

  • @Nationalisten Good to see I'm not the only Swede that takes a reasonable stand on this matter. Yep, it's kind of funny how they can call it a crime owning a simple pistol here without a license. It's "grovt vapenbrott" if the police catches you with a loaded pistol, a minimum of six months in prison.

  • Sweden is not the great 'socialist utopia' certain academics want us to believe.If it was it wouldn't have one of the worlds highest suicide rates.

  • I guess even Sweden has a handful of right-wing nutcases that want more guns. Thankfully for Sweden there are many more sensible people that have made Sweden one of the best and safest countries in the world.

  • Tack!

    

  • @Nationalisten Instämmer helt och hållet!

  • Interestingly enough... 2 weeks ago we had a police officer visiting our class... He claimed that sharp weapons such as swords, daggers or knives may be used to defend your property, and also fire arms if you possess such - but only with as much violence as the situation requires. If he starts to run, or runs at you with a knife from a distance of like 10 meters, you're not allowed to kill, but possibly in the latter case to shoot to wound the perp...

  • Din engelska suger men bra video men snälla prata svenska och texta på engelska istället!

  • Skit bra film!! Tack!!

  • @HammarnUT workknifes (Mora knivar) are allowed, i myself carry one daily on my workpants.

  • @HammarnUT you can thank the endless immigrant hordes ending up in ghettoes for that.

    fine example is Malmö.

  • ooooooh no i can't get a dirty harry gun if i go out in to the forest! Maaan i will be one of the 0 people that get killed by bears every year in sweden!
