Now do Switzerland.
- briffle 9y agoI can't tell you how many friends and family (I'm in the US) have posted nonsense about swiss gun laws all over social media. They drastically changed about 20 years ago or so. (and a few other major changes 7 or 8 years ago) But they like to talk all over social media about how anyone in Switzerland can walk down the street with a fully automatic rifle..
- joelrunyon 9y agoI never said any of that. But they have a pretty high ownership rate and are always left out of the discussion when it doesn't fit the narrative. Process for actually getting a gun in Switzerland - https://www.ch.ch/en/acquiring-firearm/ https://www.ch.ch/en/acquiring-firearm/ No one's arguing about full automatic rifles. There's very few places where fully automatic rifles are actually legal.
- _nalply 9y agoMore than twenty years ago I once went with a friend shooting around in the woods. That was extremely dangerous and stupid of us. I surely do hope that this is made more difficult for young people of today in Switzerland.
