In a tight arms control country, Serbia, still a mass shooting

There are a lot of civilian owned firearms there.

I'd imagine there is plenty of "Real military grade hardware" hidden around that
place.


Who wouldn't have a stash having survived the 90s there?

Shhhh... Biden will tell the Croates to disarm them.

Right, it's a dangerous place.

Not really, it has a lower level of crime that the US. I feel much saver than I do in some parts of Canada. No open air drug use and the like. Firearm ownership (legal and illegal) is very high but there is not that much violent crime. I think this is the first mass shooting in a school. The purpetrator came from an affluent family and this happened in one of the wealthier parts of the capital. He used his father's legally owned pistols.

No idea how it is. Safe, I hope.

But they were in the news 30 years ago.

I am slightly acquainted with a catholic of some variety from Bosnia which I've heard is predominately Moslem. He immigrated to the USA and married into a family that owned some ghetto convenience stores in Shreveport. After he shot one of his "customers" and took a gun away from another and gave him a beating with it he seems to have convinced the rest of the clientele to behave. I know Bosnia isn't Serbia but it's the same neighborhood. He goes back there sometimes and tells us there are warning signs at the golf course about places to avoid because of unexploded mines.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is split into the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (52% of the country that's mostly muslim with a Croat minority) and Republic of Srpska (which is mostly Serb). There are mines where the front lines used to be. In terms of violence I think it's on par with Serbia. There is organized crime but I generally feel safe whereever I go. As far as I know, Serbia has no such mines, there was no ground war there aside from Nato bombing.

He must have already. The Serbuian president is vowing to disarm the country. Since they have a gun registry it should be easy.

Isn’t that guy who does the Cap and Ball channel on youtube from Serbia?

Didn’t Serbia attack Bosnia? The whole Kosovo and Bosnia war I never understood

Just roughly, it used to be one nation, Yugoslavia, but after Tito died the states wanted separation while Serbia as the largest state and Belgrade as the capital did not.

spent 4 months in Aviano Air base doing targeting for the Kosovo bombing. I remember picking the impact points for the Zastava factories. They made more than just firearms. Heavy weapons also.

sounded like downtown Kosovo when near Trakoscan in 2019. lots of driven game.
