Swedish Government Pushes AR-15 Ban After Örebro Massacre – Chaos Ensues
Following the mass shooting in Örebro, where 11 people were killed, the Swedish government and its coalition partner, the Sweden Democrats (SD), have now proposed a ban on AR-15 rifles for hunters.
The problem? An AR-15 wasn’t even used in the attack. This is pure symbolic politics—a desperate attempt to be seen as “taking action” while completely ignoring the real issues behind Sweden’s violence crisis.
Sweden has no problem with legally owned firearms being used in crime, and certainly not with AR-15s. Criminals don’t get their weapons from licensed hunters.
🔹 Sverigedemokraterna in Crisis Over Betrayal
The decision has caused internal chaos, particularly within the Sweden Democrats, who explicitly promised last fall that they would never support an AR-15 ban. Now, they are doing the exact opposite.
The backlash has been so severe that Richard Jomshof, chairman of the Justice Committee, has resigned from his position.
Jomshof described the proposal as "rash and emotional" and claimed it was "not rooted in our respective parties."
🔹 Major Infighting Within the Sweden Democrats
According to sources, Monday’s internal party leadership meeting was one of the most heated in SD’s history.
-- Party leader Jimmie Åkesson reportedly threatened to resign unless the party backed the AR-15 ban.
-- Critics within SD argue that Åkesson and his inner circle have lost touch with the party’s grassroots.
-- Internal support for Henrik Vinge and Gustav Gellerbrant, two key figures pushing the ban, is said to be at an all-time low.
🔹 Rebellion Growing Against the Government’s Gun Ban
The backlash isn’t limited to SD. Many within the Moderate Party are also furious at this betrayal of their voters.
At a time when gangs are using military-grade weapons smuggled from the Balkans, Sweden’s government has chosen to punish law-abiding hunters instead.
A classic example of Swedish politicians attacking the wrong target—because going after the real criminals would require actual courage.
