Responses[edit]

Along with a number of shootings, the summer of 2015 was dubbed "the summer of unrest" by Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, who during a speech said the attacks would "not be tolerated".[70] Some hundred new police officers were set to be appointed in Malmö in the following months, after concerns were raised by the regional police union.[71] Police began work the same summer of attempting to thwart "mass hysteria" among terrified Malmö residents.[72]

I think it's about time that hand grenades and other bombs were banned in Sweden.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

What makes this worse is the rate of rise

1991-1998 – ~12 or so incidents involving explosives in the country. (1.5 attacks per year)

2008-2012 – Total of 22 acts involving explosives. (4.4 per year)

2013 – Total of 3 acts involving explosives (The year that Sweden started taking on refugees in larger numbers)

2014 – 12 acts involving explosives

2015 – 30 acts involving explosives

2016 – 34 acts involving explosives

The very worst aspect is, IMO, the media and government cover up of the source of these crimes. Only by doing a lot of digging can you start to find clues as to the groups responsible. At best the blame is put on 'organised crime' with not a mention of the origins of these organised crime gangs. Similar to what took place in Rochdale and many other cities in the UK, and in particular the BBC, where any description of a wanted criminal will not include the race of the suspect unless he is white.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

A slight correction there.

They always describe a criminal as ex Army, even if he only served for three years back in 1980. Doesn't matter what the criminal has worked at since, they're always ex Army.

It is also happening in Sweden, which as far as I can remember is not part of the not so great britain and therefore not our problem.
We are not the worlds policeman, please leave that task to the usa
