Last week NOTW was threatening to slit his wrists because I put a post in the wrong thread, now that one has her panties in a wad because I remembered there was a thread for Sweden and wanted to get the perspective of my internet buddy. Chicks.
January 30Jan 30 Last night the guy who burned the Koran in public over here on multiple occasions giving Erdogan a reason to delay Sweden's NATO approval was shot and killed by five gunmen in his flat 30 minutes outside of Stockholm. Still nothing like any major US city, e.g. Chicago, Philly, Detroit, etc, but by Swedish or European standards we do have a good bit of gun violence going on right now. All of it is gang related and between gangs but there have been some innocent bystanders who have gotten in the way and of course it makes things feel more unsafe generally in society.

Is that a noticeable change from the recent past?

I'm sorry but this doesn't sound possible. Doesn't Sweden have anti-gun laws?

Several popular Swedish movies and shows have glorified this stuff over the last 15 years. The Swedish rappers are also heavily involved and several have been murdered and ordered murders. There is a pretty good series (8 episodes) of a spectacular heist that was done via a helicopter landing on the roof of a building that was a cash xfer storage spot. It is heavily based on a true story. Happened in Stockholm suburb about 15 years ago. They clearly made it so it could export. It was on Netflix here. I'd recommend it as it is pretty good.

I would think gun control is part of it, and grenades are used in place of guns, but I don't hear about grenade attacks in Britain, France, Canada, and other countries (unless it is taking place around Europe and isn't making the news here).

Sweden took in a ton of refugees from the wars in the Balkans. Those dudes have smuggled a ton of explosives into Sweden over the years and sell them to the gangs. The gangs are Yugoslavian, Turkish, and Syrian for the most part. Gun violence by the gangs is far more common than the grenades. They have no problem getting the guns.
