I can't be asked to get a license for a proper firearm

My god, what tyranny you live under, please tell me what authoritarian country you live in so uncle sam can come free you after we're finished with Iran.

    Hehe, I'd be happy to tell you my general understanding of the laws, I am not a gun nut, and there are probably a few details I get wrong.

    Anyway.

    In Sweden you can only get a gun for two reasons, hunting or competition, getting a gun for self defense is illegal.

    To get a gun for either reason, you need to pass tests and for competition licenses, display an active need for the gun in competitions.

    Wikipedia has a better summary of the laws on this page:
