These dudes think they’re the “good guys” from that fantasy land where “good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns” BUT THEY KEEP FUCKING MISSING. How are you, a “good guy”, supposed to stop a bad guy if you can’t even hit anything.

Absolutely loser mentality from start to finish and these folks are proof.

      They have all their national service stuff but they also have surprisingly lax options for private ownership of guns and ammunition as well (basically just a background check no registries or significant restrictions). It’s just only a small number of people actually do it.

        I was lead to believe that privately owned firearms had to be stored under lock and key at a gun club at all times when they were not being used?

          It’s been a while since I looked into but I think it’s not a rule at a national level, but the canton police have significant flexibility on whether they approve applications for semi-automatic rifles and handguns. So one place might have requirements that another might not.

          But for all manually operated firearms it’s pretty cruise-y.

          Edit: the more I look into there’s lot of different permits with overlap, shall issue or must issue etc. Swiss bureaucracy. Etc. But I guess my point is like if a persons want a pump action shotgun or a bolt action rifle they’d get it very quickly, and be able to keep it at home with ammo, for more complicated guns it might be harder.
