From Wiki
Switzerland thus has a relatively high gun ownership rate (31%-61% in 2005, declining).Current research from 2014 estimates gun ownership rate around 25%. In recent times a minority of political opposition has expressed a desire for tighter gun regulations. A referendum in February 2011 rejected stricter gun control.

I was afraid of that.

I saw the headline and thought “aren’t they already armed”?

Not when I was at Thun about eight months ago.

Biggest problem has been suicides. And no longer does the Army issue free ammunition to be kept- sealed- at home.
