It is not Sweden,but rather Switherland that has very favorable gun
ownership laws. This country has a long arms tradition going back all
the way to William Tell ,several centuries ago. That was one of
several reason why the Swiss were not overran by Germany in WWII.
Sweden,on the other hand ,has lots of restrictions-just like many
other EU members. The Swiss refused to join EU, by the way.

Really? Then Sweden doesn't require all young men to go though a
militia training, then to keep the rifle they have been issued. Even
inspecting it from time to time to make sure it is in good condition?

Hmmm, I was under the impression this is why Hitler did not invade
Sweden. He would have gotten bogged down attempting to get all those
rifles, and losing valuable resources along the way. Or, is that
Switzerland? Or, is it both?
