<g> Sorry. Gun, rifle... big deal <g> The Swedish translations of those
words can refer to the same weapon types.

We didn't use to. We've imported both Hell's Angles and Bandidos from
the
US... though we've got a crop of home-grown lunatics as well - and heavy
weapons are unfortunately rather easy to get, thanks to the way our army
used to be organised. On paper, we had the second or third largest army
in Europe - some 800,000 men trained in arms that could be mobilized
within two days, or at least that was the plan. This meant that many
people have, or at least had, weapons - assault *rifles* <g> - in their
homes, and that many more weapons were dispersed in storage bunkers all
over the country. Those bunkers tend to be prime targets for anyone who
wants some serious firepower - I've lost track on how many of them have
been broken into and emptied over the last five years.
