There have been 78 of them since 2010, or an average of about 10 a year nationwide (and this includes 2016, which was a significant outlier with 35 detonations - take that away and the numbers drop to just over five a year).

Well, now you're deliberately distorting facts. 2015-2017 all saw a huge spike in grenade attacks in sweden. Not just 2016. So basically the most recent three years... but hey if you were to use the last 30 years in your data that would bring down the average per year even more

I, too, like to use statistical outliers to push a political point, but the statistician in me understands that's bullshit statistics.

For what it's worth, even if every grenade attack since 2010 all happened in one year, it still wouldn't even be one tenth of America's gun death rate, and that's *after* adjusting for population.
