Swedish Government Pushes AR-15 Ban After Örebro Massacre – Chaos Ensues
Following the mass shooting in Örebro, where 11 people were killed, the Swedish government and its coalition partner, the Sweden Democrats (SD), have now proposed a ban on AR-15 rifles for hunters.
The problem? An AR-15 wasn’t even used in the attack. This is pure symbolic politics—a desperate attempt to be seen as “taking action” while completely ignoring the real issues behind Sweden’s violence crisis.
Sweden has no problem with legally owned firearms being used in crime, and certainly not with AR-15s. Criminals don’t get their weapons from licensed hunters.
🔹 Sverigedemokraterna in Crisis Over Betrayal
The decision has caused internal chaos, particularly within the Sweden Democrats, who explicitly promised last fall that they would never support an AR-15 ban. Now, they are doing the exact opposite.
The backlash has been so severe that Richard Jomshof, chairman of the Justice Committee, has resigned from his position.
Jomshof described the proposal as "rash and emotional" and claimed it was "not rooted in our respective parties."
🔹 Major Infighting Within the Sweden Democrats
According to sources, Monday’s internal party leadership meeting was one of the most heated in SD’s history.
-- Party leader Jimmie Åkesson reportedly threatened to resign unless the party backed the AR-15 ban.
-- Critics within SD argue that Åkesson and his inner circle have lost touch with the party’s grassroots.
-- Internal support for Henrik Vinge and Gustav Gellerbrant, two key figures pushing the ban, is said to be at an all-time low.
🔹 Rebellion Growing Against the Government’s Gun Ban
The backlash isn’t limited to SD. Many within the Moderate Party are also furious at this betrayal of their voters.
At a time when gangs are using military-grade weapons smuggled from the Balkans, Sweden’s government has chosen to punish law-abiding hunters instead.
A classic example of Swedish politicians attacking the wrong target—because going after the real criminals would require actual courage.

🇸🇪 Theories Emerge About the Örebro Massacre
Sweden is slowly trying to recover from the deadliest mass shooting in its history. Yesterday, a memorial ceremony was held, with speeches from Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, King Carl XVI Gustaf, and Queen Silvia.
Queen Silvia spoke to the press, directly linking this tragedy to the bombings and shootings that have plagued Sweden for over a decade. "Where has the Sweden we knew gone?" she asked—a question that resonated with many Swedes who no longer recognize their own country.
While some may dismiss the royal family as out of touch, the Queen’s words reflect the deep sense of loss felt by ordinary Swedes as their once-safe nation is transformed into a war zone of gang violence and social unrest.

💥 New Motive Suggestion: An Attack on Social Services?
While police have not yet confirmed a clear motive, reports in Swedish media now suggest that the Örebro massacre may have been an attack against the social services.
🔹 What We Know So Far:
- Rickard Andersson, 35, had been receiving welfare benefits but had them revoked because he failed to apply for jobs.
- He had no income for over a decade and reportedly fought the decision to cut his welfare.
- Multiple social service employees are still missing, raising suspicions that social workers may have been among his targets.
- According to a source with insight into the case, Andersson was deeply frustrated with the system:
👉 "He had conflicts with social services. That’s the only theory we have right now."
🔹 Police remain tight-lipped about the investigation, only stating that Andersson left no manifesto or explanation for his actions. They continue to emphasize that there is no indication of ideological motives behind the attack.

🇸🇪 A System That Fails on All Fronts
If these reports hold true, this case once again exposes the deep cracks in Sweden’s welfare state.
- The welfare system is failing—it hands out benefits freely, yet struggles to enforce basic accountability, leading to frustration and resentment.
- Social services are overwhelmed—understaffed, struggling with increasing threats, and now potentially the target of violent retaliation.
- Mental health issues are often ignored—while we don’t know whether Andersson sought help, his long history of social isolation raises questions about the system’s ability to detect high-risk individuals.
The truth will come out soon. But regardless of the final motive, this massacre is yet another sign of a society in deep decline
