The Swiss can buy their own long guns and handguns with a licence. It is one of the most liberal countries in that regards. It is a tradition that goes beyond keeping your army rifle at home, it's in the culture.
Actually that is true. The Swiss have four national languages shared between them, their is no other country in Europe anywhere as linguistically diverse as Switzerland or ethnically diverse. UK and France are still upwards of 75%-80% English/French, and if you ignore assimilated third generation Portuguese/Italians in France and the Irish, Scottish and Welsh, outside of London and Paris is very white, as in 90%+, the rest of the country is virtually Maine, and while their are outposts of diversity, it simply doesn't compare to the diversity in Switzerland were going different regions lead to different languages and cultures more tied into Germany or Italy than Genevan/French Switzerland that is arguably the "face" of the country.

Mass shooter + calls for gun control = 10 more guns on the street.

So, is it liberal to allow them to buy guns and ammo, or conservative? Our Liberals are quite the opposite, they dont want us to buy guns and ammo.

Come on now, you really want the government to be the only one to have the guns? Given pipe lines being built across anyone's lands, reproductive decisions being made by those with no horse in the race, laws being written to say that protesting against the government is a felony...................do you really think they care about the children?

Explain why you think Gun Culture is more important than kids.
Kids are being brought up desensitized to killing, unless they hunt or fish, seriously.
Video games, media, social media push violence using guns in the movies, tv and glorify it.
Kids are being brought up with dual income families, where one member or both is not there helping raising the kids, so tv and media educate, indoctrinate kids.
Do you think its the gun culture misguiding kids.?
Take the pipe, rose colored glassex put them down and pay attention.

They can't. It's just a catch phrase they have been told to repeat
