You cannot buy consumer grade AR15 in European countries without having a gun licencse, having the gun registered and subject yourself to random inspections if it is stored properly, which usually means unloaded in a gun safe.

Organizations like this one, at least competent ones, don't buy guns at the shops. I was making a point but I'm sure there is an illicit gun trade even in Sweden.

There is, it's just a lot less accessible and I would assume a lot less expensive.

Bank robbers would have guns in Europe, but ypur average guy breaking and entering won't.
