Re: Swiss Gun Storage Laws
They keep blaming the tool used and not the person behind the attack.
Unfortunately, many people buy the BS.

Re: Swiss Gun Storage Laws
It`s pretty much a typical media report - more balanced than most perhaps except that it starts and finishes with a report on a shooting and an interview with a victim so sets a very negative tone right from the `off`. The media is almost exclusively anti-gun and presents an almost exclusively ant-gun stance. The inaccuracies reported in the media and the ignorance of actual facts is horrendous - but they get away with it because the pro-gun lobby aren`t vocal enough and have little political influence ..... except in the US where the NRA has a political presence far in excess of what their membership should, logically, merit. It`s remarkable what money will buy .......

Re: Swiss Gun Storage Laws
screw them all. How does it matter. the anti freedom act didnt pass through the congress. thats what matters. Glad the swiss clarified they arent texas. Thank god for that. They are fit for shooting of shah rukh khan movies, not to protect democracy. Yes they arent a gun culture. They only have a history of being merceneries throughout the middle ages and fighting for the side that paid them more money.
Americans try to praise their system of decentralised government power and these people are hurt by the comparisons. Good. Throughout europe these swiss will be famous as being blunt and rude and the dixie folks as hospitable and polite. Nothing is going to change that.

You want more gun control? Use both hands!
