Any place with strict gun control, has the most shootings. Ironically getting a hunting rifle in Sweden is a matter of a weekend course. Tho these gangs doesn't use legally obtained hunting rifles, they use mostly pistols and AK47's, pistols are a pain in the ass to obtain legally, not very hard illegally. Same with AK47, easy to import from Baltic, and cheap and a box of hand grenades included.

As for this “prominent” rapper, we all knew it was just a matter of time he would get shot. There's two types of rappers, those who have been shot dead, and those who haven't been shot dead yet.
