This is a decade old report, but it gives a good overview of Swiss gun laws.

There are links embeded at the site.

Mrs. Sooner would be horrified and aghast at those young ladies - RIDING THEIR BIKES WITH NO HELMETS.

She sees the results of it too often in rehab.

***Switzerland won the service-rifle team championship. The lesson was not lost on the Nazi observers. ***

I remember reading of the discussion between the Germans and the Swiss.

The German said..”Our army is five times larger than yours. What would you do if we invaded?”

The Swiss said..”All our men would fire five shots, then go home..”

Switzerland is a homogenous country/culture and has virtually NONE of the minority problems we have here in America...

And yet, the firearm bigots continue to push their agenda there. Same as here.

Firearm bigots never stop, nor tire, in the fight to diminish freedom and liberty:

Switzerland is also rated more free than us now...and, they have not had a war since 1551. An excellent country to immigrate to if you can satisfy their immigration criteria...although you can live there for extended time without problem.

BTW, back in the 1980's, I learned the term for people who hate guns are called "hoplophobes," actually fear of weapons but can be applied here too. I think the late Jeff Cooper came out with that term in 1962.

Both chicks are hot! I’d be glad to make my Marlin Model 60 and join them on the range anyday of the week. B-)

No helmets motorists are very respectful of bike riders who have assault rifles on there backs. Iam sure the motorist stay a nice distance away from them.

I’d be willing to bet serious money they don’t have any cops using citizen’s dogs for target practice in that country.

“Switzerland is a homogenous country/culture “

Well, sort of, but getting French, Germans and Italians to live together harmoniously does take SOME effort...;)

And you forget one other major item — it does not worship at the altar of the UN. Switzerland remains sovereign.

Our Second Amendment was never about hunting .. for dinner.

"I’d be willing to bet serious money they don’t have any cops using citizen’s dogs for target practice in that country."

But it might explain why their cheese is full of holes!

Switzerland had a civil war in 1847.

Is that a typo or a Freudian slip ;-)

But the BRRRRRRRR

I’m spoiled down here in SFL. Should go to the beach this w/e.

You are correct! I had read that false claim on a Swiss website! My apologies...
