As you may remember, on October 21st, the European Commission released a "White Paper" titled "Firearms and the internal security of the EU: protecting citizens and disrupting illegal trafficking"; supposedly basing itself over the results of the poll launched by the European Commission itself last April, it actually provides a distorted version of these, and upon these false data it calls for more stringent, almost draconian restrictions upon the rights of law-abiding European citizens to keep, bear, and use firearms for hunting, sports shooting and − most important of all − self-defense and the protection of their properties and their loved ones.

The "White Paper" caused a major outcry between hunters, sports shooters, and generally speaking, gun-owners Europe-wide, as it configures as nothing more, nothing less than as yet another attempt from a central authority to restrict the rights of the European citizens, both as individuals and as parts of a collectivity − putting a particular accent upon gun rights, which is what actually allows citizens not only to be safe, but to act as guardians of democracy should the need arise.



A particularly high level of discontent is being now registered in France − a Country that has lately approved less strict gun laws, and that also counts the highest overall number of active hunters in the entire EU − and in Sweden, as Swedish citizens are not only avid and very active hunters and sportsmen, but are also fellow citizens with Cecilia Malmström, the current Commissioner for Home Affairs of the European Commission. Cecilia Malmström comes from the centre-right FP - Folkpartiet Liberalerna (Swedish Liberal People's Party), and is Europe's staunchest enemy of gun owners and gun rights.
