Do they even have a second amendment?

“Our best estimates are between 14 and 18 million firearms in a country of 8.5 million people, making Switzerland’s density double that of the USA,” Marc Heim, a PROTELL board member, told Time.

Since libs want to use Europe as the great example of modern socialist policies, let's get on the bus.

Stymie every argument with, "let's follow the Swiss model." 

But military service...I did register when I turned 18 and was not called. I am more than willing to show a minimum level  of proficiency with firearms I own or will own in the future.

Why in the world would we want to follow the Swiss model?

They have gun registration.

Carry permits are issued sparingly. You need a plausible need from a specific danger.

Hollow point and soft point ammo is illegal except for hunting.

You must have a “weapon acquisition permit” to purchase a gun. Same for ammo purchase.

Can’t transport a weapon without a specific reason.

The Swiss are heavily armed...less so in the personal realm and mores in the militia realm, if I recall correctly.

It seems most citizens are issued automatic weapons...that are kept at a local depot.

Maybe I'm pulling all this out of somewhere worthless.

I was unaware of the fine details, like any good lib, I'm taking one single fact to support my narrative, motive, and agenda.

"Swiss got a bunch and they're not killing each other, in comparison, I should have the right to have a bunch, because I'm not a killer either."

Dave brings up a great point of having enough facts to make a rational decision.

The source, DC, is right wing, what exactly is their motive?

They either didn't ask or omitted this part of the dialogue to encourage exactly what I did...post, make an uninformed comment and move on...thank you Dave for enlightening me out of ignorance!

I think they are trying to show that the Swiss are being bullied by the EU even though they aren’t part of it. If they don’t bring themselves in line with the EU gun control; the EU will screw up their travel across borders.
