Is that a G3?
Hopp Schwiiz!!
Their military doesn’t mess around, either. The Air Force trains in the Alps. Not easy flying. And the Swiss have the best work ethic. They can fight when they have to. No wonder Hitler didn’t dare invade.
This makes me think......um DUH! I can’t believe that our country has been invaded so bad with Marxist pigs that we can’t look at this and say...alright lets do it! We have the same wording in our constitution but yet we have harsh gun laws....huh?
This just goes to show that we as free people are under attack!
It looks like a Sig 550 or 551.
bttt
I was sadly ignorant of Swiss law about gun ownership up until a few years ago when a friend from Switzerland came to visit. We where going to go sporting clay shooting and when I went to my safe to get what we needed, he asked where my ‘good ones’ where. He then went on to describe what the country assigns citizens and the militia training.
Handgun Control is all about outlawing all firearms.
Gun free zones are criminal havens. Proof that disarming citizens makes life more dangerous for everyone except criminals.
Very, very nice!
Did you tell him the government owns all those “good ones” /sarc
I have a friend who has developed the theory that when the Crusaders came back from the Crusades they all moved to Switzerland. By this theory, Switzerland is a country of warriors. It somewhat explains the safe secret banks... lack of wars - and at times stunning international strategy.
The official firearms issued in Switzerland are the Sig 550 rifle for enlisted personnel or the SIG 510 rifle and/or the 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 for officers, medical, and postal personnel. I’ve read that there are about a half a million Sig 550’s in citizen’s hands in Switzerland.
During one of our vacation trips we had driven into southern Switzerland from Italy to stay at a chalet in the alps. The next morning the reports of gunshots pealed through the mountains. It is very interesting to be near a target range in a mountainous area where there are lots of echoes.
I’ve heard a version of that, but it wasn’t when they came back but when some of the orders where banned by the Vatican they took refuge there along with all the loot they collected.
Here’s the kicker:
6 million people, 2 million guns, ONE THIRD of which are fully automatic.
Also, the government selling surplus guns and ammunition to the citizens AT COST is huge. We need to get some of that going on here...

Hitler didn’t invade because his backers, the Bankers, needed access to the Swiss Banking system; it had nothing to do with terrain or the Swiss military. Switzerland provided a money laundering service to the Nazi’s and access to foriegn capital as well as a mechanism to transfer money between the members of the Axis Alliance.
I am of Swiss descent and I like firearms. It must be in the DNA......
Very interesting. I didn’t have the time necessary to read the entire article, so perhaps I missed it...but what is the % of black/illegal alien population in Switzerland?
