Would that have anything to do with the (excellent) fully-automatic assault rifle hung over every boy and girl's fireplace, and the 600-round can of ammo in the closet?
Once saw a National Geographic article on Switzerland from the 1940's or 1950's. One interior photo of a Swiss home showed three generations of military rifles, from an elderly Schmidt-Rubin to the latest model, hanging over the mantle. Each one belonged to a certain family member of a different generation.
Of course, Charlie Schumer and his playmates from the Violence Policy Center would have a cow over the numbers of guns in Switzerland and the utterly irresponsible way in which they were kept right out in the open, in the living room no less!
Exactly. That and the fact that the Alps are full of great sniper perches, which the locals all know about...
