I do not really want to get hung up on the debate about guns, but will say that I have the same point of view as my fellow Scandinavians.
What I would like to say as a Norwegian is that the Swedish neutrality was of great strategic significance to Hitler as it gave him free passage to Norway. We lost a lot of people protecting our borders from Hitler, and eventually failed
I will say that Sweden did come to our defence in the end and assisted us in building up the Norwegian forces again...
