Kimosabi Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Note that all members of the militia that has those weapons in house until the age of 30, has the proper training. Everyone storing one of those weapons are trained. The weapons are also sealed and inspected regularly. The ammo is to use traveling to the barracks/rendezvous point in case of invasion and if you break a seal without authorization, you're in a world of hurt. It's not for home protection. Our "homefront" also stores AG3's and full gear at our homes. Weapon and ammo is sealed, I know because I snuck up on the attic as a kid and "examined" daddy's gear.....

Perfesser Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 the Swiss need all those guns because of all the wars they fight in. That they have them probably has a lot to do with why they don't need to fight a war to defend themselves. Proponents including churches and womens groups had argued the plan was a way to reduce domestic violence and Switzerland's high rate of firearms suicide. A lot of the restrictions we now have in Canada. The rate of suicide or domestic violence hasn't changed a bit. They just use different tools. Knife murders and hangings have taken up all the slack in the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Good on the Swiss! Perhaps they have learned that "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
