Have been running Tumbleweed on an old laptop for a couple of years that I update now and then, only time something broke was when plasma 6 was released and that was because of third party themes, reset to standard themes and everything worked again.

Naturvårdsverket hade en föreskrift om att att miltärliknande vapen inte fick användas för jakt, så man kunde inte inte få jaklicens på dem, bara licens för sportskytte. Naturvårdsverket tog bort den föreskriften då de kom fram till att den var godtycklig och inte hade stöd i lagen.

Som varande jägare själv måste jag säga att jag inte ser några direkta fördelar med halvautomater typ AR-15 gentemot en vanlig repeter för jakt.
