Every citizen in Switzerland has a fully automatic assault weapon IN THEIR HOME to protect the country from invasion. Curiously/s, they have had NO school shootings. Coincidental? I think not.

And at least 750 rounds of government issued, fresh ammo for that weapon

🤔. Better do some research before making statements like that. I know someone has kept the Swiss info on here but that claim about full autos with every citizen is not true.

Slight correction:

Gun ownership is high in Switzerland, at approximately 0.5 guns per person. About 30% of Swiss citizens own guns. Military issued firearms may be purchased from the government after service, and then the gun is converted to a non-assault weapon. Restrictions can be placed on both the firearm and its ammunition. Put simply, the idea that the Swiss are required to own firearms and the idea that all Swiss own firearms are myths.

Additionally there is a distinction between permitted ownership and permitted use. Neither are guaranteed by right until permitted. These permits are handled on a canton level.
