But, but, but, these things only happen in the big bad cowboy U.S.A., right? They're not supposed to happen in la-la-land Europe, right?

Remember, we need LUNATIC control, not gun control. Laws can't stop the crazy ones or protect us from them-

You're aware that Switzerland requires every adult male to own a weapon, right? Just like the NRA would like us to do here.

Guns are not the answer! Just ask the classy Brady Bunch.

Switzerland has less of these mass shootings too. So you've proved the NRA's point that it's not guns who kill people but people who kill people.

I'm surprised a ******* hasn't tried to use a canned argument suggesting that Switzerland is unique and non-replicable.

So why would you post a shooting in Switzerland to make your point???? Your thread is odd to say the least.

They issue a military rifle, but no ammunition.

But in this case, the military issue rifle had been taken away from him due to mental issues, and he used other weapons in this shooting.

It is easy to craft ammunition and I'm absolutely certain many Swiss do it regardless of whether it's illegal or not.
