Atleast 3 people dead in a school shooting in Finland. Killer is an 18 year old male. I'll see what more I can find. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/11/07/school.shooting.ap/index.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7082795.stm

Our new government just repealed a law that would've banned lead in ammunition, starting at the first of January, 2008. The law came under our previous government, and was quite criticised by hunters, shooters and ordinary folks who didn't buy into the propaganda from the Green Party. (Though...

Read this story in a swedish newspaper earlier. Finally remembered that The Local covers stuff in English :). http://www.thelocal.se/7453/20070530/ The guy in the car were really lucky to get away with no serious injuries...I'll look for pics of the car. Here we are:

I read a story yesterday about a Swedish guy who had signed up in the US army, after wetbacking in NYC for 8 years. So, it makes me wonder what the rules are in reality, not just what they are officially. I've heard from various sources that one can get a green card by serving a tour in the US...

I signed up for the green card lottery a few months back. Still waiting for an answer. Guess they'll only tell me if I've gotten the card. But, I'm planning anyway. So, what states allow permanent residents to buy and own firearms? Can I buy NFA stuff as well?

There is a bit of talk right now in the swedish parliament to change the law so that suppressors for class 1 and class 2 hunting rifles will effectivly be shall-issue. Right now you need to prove that you will suffer even MORE hearing loss by shooting an unsuppressed rifle.:scrutiny...

Just read that a Swedish homeguard soldier took his AK4 and went down to his local pub to shoot the place up. A seventeen year old girl was shot in the leg, otherwise there were no injuries. ('cept for him, after he shot himself...good choice IMHO). Background is probably him being broken...

Anyone who owns a Brocock air revolver? They are featured in a swedish magazine, as being dangerous, bla bla bla. Now I feel the need for one, just for the pure hell of owning it. I have a somewhat limited budget, so the most expensive are probably out of my league (Don't want to spend 4000...

Has there been any questionable shootings reported since it came into effect? Anyone know what the opinion among fence sitters is like?

What guns qualify for that title?

Looks like we are about to get our own little Patriot Act http://wiki.dataretentionisnosolution.com:81/index.php/Main_Page (Is it time to dig up those guns now? :uhoh: ) Any of my fellow european members who have an opinion about this? (Others are welcome too, of course) To put it bluntly...

I gotta say it, that man has brass balls, showing his contempt against the unjust laws, developing a new submachinegun and building it, despite the big risk of getting in the slammer again. Downloaded his new book yesterday (Cost me $20), the new design looks somewhat similar to an M3...

Explanation in this thread Now, I need rifles too...since I intend to apply for licenses for hunting weapons, there are some stupid rules...the rifles can't be military style, so AR-15's, and probably M1A's are out of the question. Now, .223 are the optimal, since that's what the army use...

Ok, so rioting and mayhem seems to spread around Europe now. There was something going on in Denmark, and it will probably spread over the strait to Sweden. Now, the easiest way of getting a shotgun here is to pass the hunters exam, so I'll go for that. Now, should I get a pump or semi? Also...

OK, so at the moment I'm debating a moron on a swedish forum, where he claims that A) Mercury filled rounds are not a myth, and B) That a high velocity round (.50 BMG) merely passing you at a distance of a few inches will kill you/rip your arm/leg/head off. So, therefor, I need the results...

Antique (pre 1890) black powder weapons (cap and ball, not BP-cartridge) are exempted from licensing here. So, naturally, I'm interested in them. What should I look for when examining a gun? What parts should be examined with extra care for damages, wear and so on?

A Walther P99 Tactical II. Very slim, very sleek. Blade is not quite razorsharp, but cuts paper like a hot, no wait, a lukewarm knife through butter. Stiffer paper got cut to ribbons with ease. Fits perfectly inside my boot too, easily accessible, easy to open. Very easy to flick open, however...

I just finished reading this thread, and so I wondered: Is it possible to make ammo from scratch, with home workshop machinery, with no brass, or primers commercially availible? Bullets and gunpowder are not a major problem. But what about the brass and primers? Or is cap and ball the way to go...

Hi, I will probably take up shooting again this fall, and apply for my first license as soon as possible. The problem I have is that I can get only six handguns without going through walls of red tape. So, what would you pick? (Smallframed pistols such as Kel-Tec P32 are probably big no-no)

Hi everebody, just registred, been lurking for quite a while now. I like shooting, but unfortunatly I don't have any guns yet ('cept for a POS airrifle). With a little luck I might be able to start shooting again as soon as I have my drivers license, since the nearest shooting club is quite far...
