Shooting in downtown Prague | 14 dead
- Thread starter calodo2003
- Start date
Shooter is dead now, apparently. Shot himself and fell off the roof, according to my friend.
Shooter is dead.
What is the gun culture like in the Czech Republic?
This is not okay
They love their guns and it's easy to get them. I think they have higher concentration of firearms per square km compared to the USA.
edit: the last part is not true , usa actually has around 3 times more per / km^2. Crazy.

Just hunting rifles or is it handguns and machine guns too?
That is absolute bollox.
Seemingly more permissive & open than other EU countries according to a quick Google search.
The Czechs got clearance from the Soviets to make their own (arguably better) version of the AK-47. The country is likely awash with them based on how many were being sold in Canada a few years ago.
That also means they should have a thriving small arms industry and indeed Česká zbrojovka firearms, aka CZ, originated there.
Most of the ammo I buy comes from there, too.
Eastern Europe seems to be full of old Sovjet weapons and army vehicles that cnuts from Western Europe can play around with on stag do weekends.
Sincerely
A cnut who drove around in a tank on his friend's stag do

Absolutely. Crate after crate of arms and ammunition likely just sitting in warehouses waiting to move.
But the public is still forbiden by law to own fully automatic weapons.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun...Act No.,two concealed firearms for protection.
They have some reasonable controls but are basically shall issue if you meet the requirements and they allow both concealed and open carry somewhat generously. I maintain that allowing people to carry guns in public is a significant contributor to these mass shooting events.
Legally yes its easier to get one but culturally no one wants or owns guns. Its like 3 percent gun ownership compared to what 30/40 percent in America?
I’ve never seen a civilian gun in Prague. Been living there for 5 years. CZ has weapon and ammo industry, as well as shooting sports but I wouldn’t say it’s a big part of the culture. Maybe it’s just my bubble.
No. Been here 11 years. No one has a gun
I don't have any problem with their criteria for letting people possess firearms, as I said the controls are reasonable. I disagree with letting people carry guns in populated areas, though.
10 dead. Tragic.
Guy is a 24 year old student from another town where he already shot his father earlier today and was wanted by police, apparently.

It's not even close. The USA and Russia combined have more guns than every other country on the planet combined. It's insane. The USA isn't far off having that many on their own. It's completely batshit.
I would let majority of gun owners have crayons or sporks, let alone guns FFS.
to be fair you're basing this off the USA where there are plenty of idiots. Countries like the Czech Republic and Canada where background checks, education/training, and safe storage requirements go a long way to reducing the number of incidents derived from stupidity, let alone malice.This incident is apparently the biggest terrorist attack in Europe in the past five years.
We all just have to start walking around with bullet proof vests.
Why would you allow people to carry guns in any place? (Outside of hunting rifles)
You have to go back 57 days to find a bigger one in America.
From The Guardian:
Lots of places do because people are afraid of other people, usually irrationally.
Hunting and wilderness protection, possibly personal protection in exceptional circumstances are the only scenarios I think are reasonable.
Sorry, think I misunderstood you then.
It's hard to tell from that picture, mate. But the angle on the stock has a more European look to it, so I'm going to go with a Swiss Arms rifle now known as the Sig SG 550.
Seems he was inspired by a recent school shooting in Russia. This is from screenshot of his telegram channel I was sent. It was already translated; written in russian originally.
.
Charming fella
Police just said that this is very likely the same person, who killed two person last week.
Yeah, a father & his two month old daughter.
Looks more like a CZ BREN 2 rifle.
Getting messages from folks we know there to say they're safe. Understandably they're very upset. A lot of them would have studied in the building beside where he was shooting from.
