Switzerland is a homogenous country/culture and has virtually NONE of the minority problems we have here in America...There are links embeded at the site.

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

Bravo Switzerland !
The Germans did not invade Switzerland because they needed the banking angle, governmentally and privately.

Unique Swiss gun laws indeed.
Never mind the massive violence problems that Switzerland has with immigrant criminals from (mostly) Turkey, the Balkans and (more recently) northern Africa. And all those guns in private hands have so far proven to be useless in the face of the reality of political correctness - which prevents the Swiss people from actually doing something about it. Now there is a lesson to be learned...
I spent 10 days in Switzerland and southern Germany a couple of weeks ago. In Zurich there was a small but well inventoried gun shop about a block from my hotel. They had everything from swiss made super heavy 22lr bolt action competition target rifles to every type of “assault” rifle and pistol. I felt a breath of freedom just going into the shop.
I also noticed a distinct lack of foam bike helmets on casual bicycle riders. Only the “racer” types in spandex suits had the obligatory helmets. I used to think that this area had more of the nanny stuff than the US but we have them totally beaten in terms of useless fretting and trying to force everyone to do what the “smart” people say.
It looks like creeping regulation to me. They should have never allowed their federal government to get involved.
