Sweden Democrats split over gun law debate as Jomshof resigns

Richard Jomshof, a key figure in the Sweden Democrats, has resigned from his role as chair of Parliament's Justice Committee after opposing the party’s stance on gun law reforms.

His resignation highlights growing internal divisions, with several senior party members also criticizing the decision to support restrictions on semi-automatic firearms.

The rare internal rebellion has raised questions about SD leader Jimmie Åkesson’s authority, especially if the debate does not settle quickly.
