Compared to attacks by Islamic extremists, attacks by far-right extremists are of smaller scale but more frequent. Between 2001-2016, 179 people were killed in 85 attacks in western Europe. Research shows that Sweden has the highest number of extreme-right murders per capita, followed by Germany, mainly targeting immigrants, left-wing activists and the homeless.

Canadian question. How are Sweden immigrants getting their hands on firearms? And why would they commit gun violence?

Sweden is a gun country. Before joining NATO and now really, everyone was expected to fight Russians if they invade.

I am not sure how it works legally tbh. But migrant population didn't integrate well and criminal elements took over youth. Either Russia or islamist are doing ops.
