In response to a tragic mass shooting that claimed at least 10 lives in Orebro, Sweden is moving forward with plans to tighten its already stringent gun laws. The upcoming legislation, expedited due to the shooting, will strengthen requirements for acquiring gun licenses by focusing on the applicant's age, knowledge, skills, and criminal and medical history. Additionally, it will likely impose stricter access to semi-automatic weapons such as AR-15s, which have only recently been permitted for hunting purposes in Sweden. The government emphasizes a balance between preventing gun-related crime and allowing responsible firearm ownership.
