Sweden safer than Denmark?! I guess gunshot deaths don’t count…

About four people gets murdered by way of firearms in Denmark each year. In Sweden it was 53 last year… if you normalise for population it would be 8 vs 53. In neighbouring Norway there were 11 which would be about 22 if you normalise for Sweden’s population size.

Sweden is much higher, but it’s still not high enough to be a real concern for tourists

It definitely isnt. Unlike the US most firearm deaths in Sweden and Denmark are within the criminal circuit. A random tourist in Stockholm is not going to be the target. A drug dealer in a ghetto? More like it.

Those red sausages are deadly.

Definitely. Historically, they were colored red so that they could be easily identified and given to poor people.

For some reason the color stuck.

Yeah like Denmark is the safest of the Nordics too, purely just based on the fact that we got as safe nature as it gets. We don't have insanely low temperatures, mountains (cliffs) or any real dangerous wildlife either.
