You may have also read that she is my friend, I wouldn’t be associating with what you described, but thanks for emoting, I hope you feel better.
To this day, every male, when he turns 20, is issued a full automatic military rifle and required to keep it at home. Universal service in the Militia Army is required. When a Swiss is no longer required to serve, he may keep his rifle (converted from automatic to semi-automatic) or his pistol (if he served as an officer).
All healthy Swiss men aged between 18 and 34 are obliged to do military service and all are issued with assault rifles or pistols which they are supposed to keep at home.
Interest in gun ownership is waning, partly due to the shrinking size of the conscripted militia that serves as Switzerland’s army. Men between the ages of 20 and 30 report for training and are issued military weapons, which they keep at home.
All of the above are from different sources. It appears that your “friend” is applying a little selective memory. It is IMPOSSIBLE for her to have grown up in Switzerland with a father and or uncle or brothers and NOT know about the gun laws there. It is MANDATORY. Sorry.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. Switzerland has a population of eight million people, all of whom face mandatory conscription and firearm ownership laws. You friend grew up in that environment, knows nothing about it whatsoever, and the fact that she is a liberal has nothing to do with the impossibility of her claims, even though they fully fit the liberal agenda.
I'm not the one emoting here.
