Above all, it is voters who sympathize with the Sweden Democrats (26 percent) but also with all the Tidö parties (21 percent) who want to have weapons at home. Among the opposition's voters, only five percent answer the same.

Authority communication has been quite clear for a long time that it is up to you as an individual and citizen to take care of yourself. That, plus the daily shootings, translates to you feeling that if something happens, I must take care of myself, says Torbjörn Sjöström, CEO of Novus.

Approximately one thousand people have answered the question.
