Not certain on this, but I'm pretty sure the Swiss are required a rifle by law after undergoing a year of full time military service and training.
They are permitted to have one rifle - A Sig550 and they are not allowed to take it out of their home. Some time in the last 10 years the law changed as well, so they couldn't carry ammunition. You had to get it from an armory if the country were called to war or a state of emergency.
The Swiss have a lot of guns but they are still heavily controlled - Much more so than the US. Their regulation is actually a lot closer to the archaic 'Right to bear arms' bollocks that gets spewed around.
The general trend is that the less guns there are, the less innocent deaths there are.
I enjoy target shooting as a sport but don't see why people who genuinely enjoy shooting for that reason can't adapt to shooting BBs, for instance, or simulation.
Question for the pro-gun people - Do you genuinely believe that gun control will increase deaths of innocent people?
- i believe that my gun is a recreational device i share plenty of time with my friends with, to us it's not a weaponalbums
- The Swiss are some of the most civilized people in the world. I trust them w/ guns.hotroddy
- Albums, why do you have a gun that can kill instead of a BB gun?orrinward2

- Heat-seeking missiles are even more accurate. FYI bums.********
