Gun ownership in Switzerland (death, examples, 2013, difference)

[Fundman]

Do a Google image search on the pictures. The one with the three women at the ice cream shop is from Israel. The pic with the guys is from a Target store.

Really? I spent three weeks there, mostly in the mountains but a few days strolling around Geneva. Didn't see a single firearm, either carried or just stored, other than by the guards at the UN. I suggest either Swiss rifles are really really tiny and fit in one's pocket, or you're wrong.

To those of you pro gun control I advise putting a sign on your door "this is a gun free zone".

[Seabass Inna Bun]

That's nice.

If you don't want a gun to protect yours, that is fine with me.

I have no guns to protect MY family and MY property.

Hey hang on a second, none of my friends do either, and neither does anybody else I know.. shouldn't we all be dead by now then?

Probably somewhere in US. The pics are small, it is hard to see what kind of rifles they carry, but in the first pic, they are clearly ARs, which I doubt are that hot in Switzerland. Their military issues Sig rifles.

This would only happen in US. A guy holding a loaded AR with one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. If you do that at a gun range, they'll kick you out, but it's ok in Starbuck's, no matter how many people are around you.



Look at the size if this coffee cup. Are you kidding me?

I'm about as pro-gun as they come and this Swiss gun rights argument lost it's luster back the 1990's folks.

They are not issued ARs, but Sigs, and they are not issued ammo, and no, they do not carry those empty rifles everywhere they go. Why would they?

Do you have life insurance on yourself? How often have you used it?

Not Switzerland, because open carry is only allowed with special permit and only allowed for specific professions, such as security personnel
