>>13085 So what exactly they are going to do? There already are weight and size limitations for trucks/vehicles entering cities. If your city does not have them, blame yourself.

>>13086 They've already forced cycling on the population, and intend for that to be the solution. After all, you can't commit Jihad with a bicycle.

>>13087 >a week later, some sand nigger finds a way to commit Jihad with a bicycle

>>13088 It likely is possible. And could actualy be not hard to do. Most bikes are made from 80% empty tube. Empty tube can become tube full of explosive. After all, when has someone conducted a full drug/explosive/weapons serch on a fucking bicycle?

>>13085 No where in that article is there the phrase "assault car". What the commentator (read: not politician) is advocating, is restriction on vehicular traffic in areas with heavy foot traffic. This wouldn't do anything unless there were permanent physical barriers preventing vehicles from entering, which it doesn't sound like she is advocating because she permits vehicle traffic during night time hours or for certified delivery companies. She isn't wrong in that some recent terror attacks have been perpetrated with cars (though the one she highlights happened "14 years ago"). However, the argument against this is even greater than the argument against gun restrictions because crimes are committed with guns, because hundreds of millions more people own cars than own guns, and perhaps even fewer murders happen with cars than with guns. I disagree with the commentator's idea of simply restricting vehicle traffic by law, because that would not do anything to stop criminals. What she is proposing would essentially be yet another tax. Protecting mainly pedestrian areas with pic related wouldn't be a terrible idea. The "old town" kind of areas in old, European cities like Stockholm usually have tiny roads anyway and they are a bitch to drive on. Even some American cities have this problem - my family once went on a roadtrip to Philadelphia and some of the streets there are still cobblestone, which is a bitch to drive on regardless of the fact that the road was originally designed for horse traffic only and is very narrow. Basically the roads in the areas in question are shit to drive on so I don't know why anyone would want to anyway. The main issue I see with physically restricting vehicle traffic to these areas is that stores would have a harder time getting deliveries. I assume most of them don't have rear entrances on other streets so deliveries would have to be on foot or bike. This could be a big problem for large stores. >>13087 I don't see how they've forced cycling on anyone. Everywhere I see cycle paths are places where cycling is popular. They couldn't justify building the paths if literally no one wanted them, and it usually takes a lot of people yelling about something for government to do something about it. Maybe some places are an exception to this - I definitely don't doubt the self-serving and malicious tendencies of government.

>>13098 Also, here is the full, translated text of the article which OP's link references: >Cars have been turned into mortal weapons. They have been easy to steal and then nothing has been able to stop their progress. >In Nice, Berlin, Jerusalem, London and Stockholm, they have been used as effective killers for terrorists who wanted to kill many people. >In order to protect people in the future, cars simply have to be removed from assembly points and city cores. It is not fair that a large truck can be driven right onto Stockholm's most popular walking street on a Friday afternoon just before Easter. Politicians have been good at protecting themselves, but now they must also see the citizens' needs for safe environments. Right on Västerlånggatan >It has been fourteen years since a man drove right into Västerlånggatan in the Old Town. He killed a woman and injured another 18 people. There were several reasons to protect the medieval city center, but security in the narrow alleys should have been a heavy argument. It is actually remarkable that car traffic can still roll through the Old Town. >Stockholm is an international city, a tourist city with 13.5 million guest nights last year. Of the four people killed on Drottninggatan were three visitors, a woman from Belgium, a woman from Uddevalla and a British man. Shopping street is a popular destination for our visitors and should of course be a safe environment. Many tourists continue the street down to the Old Town, but it is really only around Rosenbad and Parliament House. There is a stop for unwelcome cars that can also be folded down if any important transport has to be carried out. The technology is thus, but it's not for everyone. The need for calm environments >Most of the costs are available for taxi and taxi service. In addition, deliveries to shops and restaurants can be controlled at times when fewer people are out walking in the streets. >Stockholm's traffic planning has always been about flows. Motorists should drive in a steady stream and nothing will stop them. Now, fast bicycle lanes are also being built so that cyclists can also flow through the city. >Rarely talking about the need for calm environments. About parks and friendly squares that welcome our visitors and where children can move without danger to their lives. >Justice Minister Morgan Johansson believes it is difficult to protect people in an open society. But motorists are allowed to drive anywhere, but not transparency. The cars have dominated our cities for decades, now it's the people who need space. Now it's motorism that has to be regulated.

But why won't they build more of these? Look good, help drunk people, and stop even the mightiest of trucks. I know old part of Riga has these all over the place. Or perhaps Stockholm just wants to get burned down again?

>>13105 They ran out of iron cannons long ago, so nowadays you just get these shitty plastic bollards that can be shattered with a box cutter.

>>13087 >Get bike >Get gun >Start at the highest point of the city >Work your way downhill

>>13085 We joked about this on /pol/ and /k/. This can´t be serious!
