Sweden Proposes Gun Law Overhaul After Tragic Shooting

Following a devastating mass shooting in Orebro that claimed the lives of ten individuals, the Swedish government is pushing to tighten gun laws nationwide. Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer announced plans to enhance the vetting process for gun licenses and restrict access to semi-automatic weapons, including the AR-15, which has been permitted for hunting since 2023.

This tragedy, reportedly the worst in Sweden’s history, involved firearms that the shooter, Rickard Andersson, had legally acquired. Initial reports indicated that several long rifles were found at the scene, spurring debates on increasing regulations around gun ownership. The incident also raises questions about the shooter’s background, noted for his previous connection to the targeted adult education center, and the community’s preparedness, as the school had conducted a lockdown drill only weeks prior to the attack.
