Once-peaceful Sweden has become one of the most dangerous places in Europe. That’s because it was the most welcoming country, and the leading experimental laboratory for open-door immigration policies. The experiment failed.
Logic should dictate that if any peaceful country flings open its doors to unvetted, open-door immigration, that country would come increasingly to resemble the countries from which so many of the migrants fled. It didn’t take long for Sweden to be thus transformed:
Sweden is the only European country where fatal shootings have risen significantly since 2000, leaping from one of the lowest rates of gun violence on the continent to one of the highest in less than a decade,
Muslim migrant gangs continue to terrorize Sweden’s streets with bombings and murders, while the spotlight is on Sweden over an “Islamophobic” Qur’an burning incident. In 2016, police in Sweden admitted losing control of 55 no-go zones. By 2017, Swedish politicians were calling for the army to be deployed to these areas.
Last April, Sweden’s then-Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson stated:
Sweden has failed to integrate the vast numbers of immigrants it has taken in over the past two decades, leading to parallel societies and gang violence….. she launched a series of initiatives to combat organised crime.
Now, the people of Sweden want the right to bear arms so as to be able to defend themselves and their families.
The West continues to lose its freedom. This will continue until the masses wake up and recognize the extent to which globalist leaders have betrayed them.
“Novus: One in five Swedes would be safer if they could shoot,” translated from “Novus: En av fem svenskar skulle vara tryggare om de kunde skjuta,” by Alicia Heimersson, Expressen, January 30, 2022:
A fifth of Swedes would have felt safer if they could shoot.
This is according to a new survey conducted by Novus.
“This has not happened in a vacuum, but is a reaction to what is happening in Sweden and the world,” says Torbjörn Sjöström, CEO of Novus.
A large percentage of Swedes would have felt safer if they had been able to shoot and want to see increased opportunities to practice shooting skills. This is shown by Novus’ survey, for which 1,043 people between 18-84 have been interviewed.
“With daily reports on shootings, we wanted to investigate the citizen’s role in the connection between weapons, marksmanship and serious violent crimes,” says Torbjörn Sjöström.
That almost 20 percent of Swedes would feel safer if they could shoot themselves is extremely high in Sweden, says Sjöström.
“”This is not the United States, since over a million Swedes would feel safer if they could shoot themselves is a huge change compared to what we are used to seeing in Sweden.”
According to Sjöström, the result shows that the Swedes do not trust that society will stand up when it really matters.
“Including the police’s ability to protect the individual when it is truly urgent,” says Torbjörn Sjöström.
Jim J Fox says
“That almost 20 percent of Swedes would feel safer if they could shoot themselves…”
Ridiculous misuse of language. “if they themselves could shoot…”
Phil Copson says
“That almost 20 percent of Swedes would feel safer if they could shoot themselves is extremely high in Sweden, says Sjöström.”
C’mon JJ – you have to admit that the mis-construction is hilarious….
More soberly – how many Swedes and other residents of crime-filled hell-holes have already decided that they would be better off dead than living in the conditions that our political class has created? How many young girls have committed suicide in Rotherham, for instance – will we ever be told?
Hoi Polloi says
It is hilarious; it’s also not clear why the US must be faulted if Swedes can’t shoot themselves. I’m guessing a good portion of the remaining 80% is made up of those who want someone else to go to the trouble of defending Sweden while heads remain firmly in sand and those who will take Sweden with ease while said sand comforts the ostriches.
somehistory says
I believe that many young Swedish women would rather shoot themselves than be the victim of a mozlum rape gang. Or even just one filthy mozlum.
PMK says
Maybe it’s just a bad translation. Sentence construction isn’t the same in all languages.
somehistory says
I agree. A teacher of English and Spanish, informed me many years ago that when we say something such as “i broke the vase,” Spanish speakers will say, “The vase broke itself.”
Whether she was correct, there are enough differences in languages that it’s entirely possible this was just due to translation.
I get lots of enjoyment in reading instructions from the chinese on how to use products…their English is terrible and funny.
Hoi Polloi says
I’m certain. When I watch something with subtitles, I’m amazed at the liberties taken with dialogue. And that’s to say nothing of feeding something into google translate. The less said about my own inadequate translations the better. It’s just such a grim subject overall that I think we enjoyed the respite; a bit of gallows humor.
My favorite so far from an email attempt at translating into English: “I should have musted to tell you…..”
Scotsman48 says
A Swedish girlfriend I had many years ago once said to me….
” I have something I wish to disgusting with you”..
She then asked why I thought that was funny…
British humour, what can I say…
Cephas H says
Actually, the Scandinavian countries have long had fairly high rates of suicide.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, along with Some History, I’m truly saddened by the slow suicide of Europe and I’m sure victims of these men must sometimes prefer death. Not making fun of tragedy, just the wording.
somehistory says
“Not making fun of tragedy, ” I never thought any different. A “bit of humor” is absolutely necessary sometimes.
Hoi Polloi says
I don’t attribute maliciousness to you, ever, SH.
somehistory says
Thank you, Hoi Polloi. Neither do I, you.
somehistory says
Common sense. If one is allowed to protect oneself, then that one is going to feel safer.
If a rapist or murderer is making a threat, then having a weapon of protection handy to use in self-defense, makes the targeted, proposed victim, feel safer…that one has at least a chance of not being a victim.
Hank says
“… if they could shoot themselves”
Swedes already did that by importing millions of illegal Muslim migrants.
Keith O says
The thing is Hank, a lot of Swede do shoot, it’s just not reported.
Keep in mind that about 23% of the population already own guns. They are just after the right to carry.
tim gallagher says
The Swedish people are obviously beginning to wake up to the damage that has been done to their once very peaceful society by importing barbaric Muslims. This is a problem that the Hungarians, Czechs, Poles and Slovakians are not going to have to put up with. It is good to hear that the Swedes are waking up and maybe they will begin to fight back against the invading barbaric scum with their violence, their primitive attitudes and their rape gangs.

European countries like Sweden, Italy and those who’ve recently voted in right leaning governments would do well to introduce versions of the US Second Amendment in their countries
James Lincoln says
Sweden: decades ago, a beautiful and safe country with stunningly attractive blonde women, Swedish meatballs, and the wonderful Volvo 1800s.
At least we still have the newsreels.
What the hell happened?
joanofark06 says
Fact: Muslims HATE Christians, Jews, etc
Fact: Satan HATES Christians, Jews, etc.
Read the verse Revelation 20:4 (or look it up online), and you have the reason, Satan wants as many muslims to do this extermination, in the middle of the “coming soon”, 7 year Tribulation.
Satan pushed men to fill up all of the NON muslim countries, with his followers, for a reason, and a purpose!!
You think all the citizens of all these non-muslim countries, have the anger and hate against God’s people, to do what’s written in that verse? Hardly. So it’s only common sense, of why all these many leaders, allowed millions of these type of these type of “people” into their borders, practically all at the same time, without even knowing or caring of what these “people” believe in.
And so what happened? THAT is what happened…
OLD GUY says
They may have to take their country back by force and drive out the Islamic invaders.
Walter Sieruk says
No rational and sensible person would blame the Swedes for wanting to be now allowed to own guns for self protection since those ungrateful Muslim migrants have entered Sweden and many vile horrendous despicable crimes , Such Muslim migrants have proven by their behavior that they are terrible and nothing but trouble.
Related to this is that a book with title of JIHAD IN THE WEST published in the year 1998 authored by Paul Fregosi ,was a man who was thinking ,a bit ahead of his time ,as in before 9/11 and then many Islamic horrors of jihad terrorism that has hit Stockholm , London, Manchester, Madrid Paris as well as other Western nations of Europe .For above mentioned book of page 411 reads “Most worrying , both Islam and the West see each other as potential enemies of tomorrow .The future is a source of concern , not of optimism.”
For this year of 2023 is the “future” as seen from the time-frame of the year 1998 when that book was published. As the author thus had a valid point in what he wrote in the above quote .
Moreover the threats of the jihadists towards the people of the nations of West .This has been further explained and revealed by in the book , by Robert Spencer ,THE HISTORY OF THE JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS .Which in page 367 informs the reader that “The early twenty- first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims: in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice ,Amsterdam, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin Munich ,Copenhagen…”
Those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious jihad-minded Muslims scheming for the subtle and not so subtle, Islamic conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, all Europeans and other Westerners would be wise to be on guard.
Walter Sieruk says
In Sweden such Muslim rioting, other crimes and Islamic terrorism may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter the Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
