Leif GW Persson wants to see a ban on semi -automatic weapons in hunting.
He says this in an interview with Dagens Nyheter, and states that he welcomes the government’s message about changes in the Arms Act.
– dIt is strange that you have not done so before, he says.
The government and the Swedish Democrats have agreed on amendments to gun legislation, which was announced on Friday. Among other things, one should limit access to certain semi-automatic weapons, such as AR-15.
However, the criminologist Leif GW Persson thinks that the time parties should go even further, and prohibit semi -automatic weapons completely.
– I think you can very well ban such weapons for hunting. No semi -machines are needed to hunt, it works just fine with ordinary hunting weapons, he tells DN.
The suspected perpetrator behind the mass shooting in Örebro must, according to information to TV4 News, have had a weapons license for two semi -automatic ball guns.
