Switzerland has over 2 million registered guns with a population of only 7 million. They have one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
A vote was put to the people asking if they should put restrictions on military style weapons via putting them in armories instead of allowing them in citizens home. The law was rejected by the masses.

Switzerland is not the gun toting utopia everyone says it is. They dont have an official army, but rather a milita among the people who are required BY LAW to attend a gun saftey and use course once per year, and are not allowed to just carry an assault rifle wherever. The govt issued weapons are stored in the homes of the users in case of an invasion or other event. The ammunition given with the weapons are sealed in plastic and checked regularly to prevent unauthorized use. The only place you are able to fire these weapons is in a firiing range. Nothing is different accept their armies. They just dont want to kill each other as bad.
ReplyDeleteI dont know about that . The German and Itallian speaking Cantons very well may wish to start killing in the french cantons if they persist in their socialistic, coercive collectivist nonsense! Hmmnn Sounds rather familiar ... By the way the french speaking cantons are also the 'greenie globalist tyrants' who would submerge Switzerland into a very non democratic EU! The same E.U. I might add that is a prime example of corruption and economic swinde. Ah my Swiss friends keep training ! Much like us in the US the day will come when those who would subvert us bring those skills and traditions to bear in defense of our liberty and sovereignty.
