Switzerland is the best munitioned country on earth, because:
After military service, most people keep their guns and are forced to yearly practicing (or loosing the gun) etc. - they are battle-ready every time.
Plus: they are the only(!) country on earth who could offer bunker protection to 95%+ of society in case of war.
- dieortin 8mo agoThey don’t keep the ammo though, so it’s quite funny to call it the “best munitioned country”. Even if you only considered the guns, your claim seems to be false: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country#List_of_countries_by_estimated_number_of_guns_per_100_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_g...
- KellyCriterion 8mo agoThis was slightly misworded: They keep the gun, not the amo - the amo you have to buy on your yearly-forced practice shooting.
- senorrib 8mo agoThat’s just not true at all. Even if 100% of the population keeps 2x guns at home, at 9.5M people that would mean 19M guns. The US has more than 20x that many owned by civilians.
