The Legal Purchase Loophole

The haul, found in a cellar in Spånga and an apartment in Sundbyberg, included grenades, antitank grenade launchers, automatic weapons, pistols and explosives...

The weapons are both military and civilian, some of which have been stolen in Sweden, others from the former Yugoslavia...

Speaking to the TT news agency, Göranzon said it was "worrying that it is so easy to procure weapons from that part of Europe. There are plenty of weapons in those countries."
Damned legal purchasers. Right?

Maybe these young men ... watch the news?
The Republic of Georgia seems to have made a good accounting of itself BEFORE ITS SURRENDER to the Russian invaders, who violated a cease-fire to which they agreed.
Yugoslavia and Kosovo might wish they still had those weapons soon.
If you wait until the tanks are rolling to put your Resistance unit together, you've already lost.
Former SOVIET Georgia thought IT was free, too.

Handguns and cell phones don't sound enough somehow if your neighbors are like this. From comments on e.g. Gates of Vienna (the blog) it seems likely that those in possession were of recent immigrant background, of the sort that the media often does not specify. All the best, cycjec
