The problem with the Swiss and guns is they have no problem

This came to me by e mail. I like how practical the Swiss are and their gun rights.

Don't you like how it works for the Swiss?

Gun politics in Switzerland
Gun possession in Switzerland is relatively high compared to most European countries (in 2005 about 29% of households keep a firearm at home,[67] and there are estimated 25 guns per 100 residents to be found at home (lower than Germany, France, and Austria),[68] though including militia issued firearms). However, ammunition would not be easily acquired for militia weapons, since one is only allowed to purchase ammunition for privately owned (and licensed) weapons and since 2007 Government issued ammunition are not allowed to be stored at home. The Swiss have universal conscription for military service.[69] A recent referendum in 2011 on a call to force the weapons to be kept at military sites was defeated.[70] However weapons may voluntarily be kept in the local armory and there is no longer an obligation to keep the weapon at home.

The Swiss "Federal Law on Arms, Arms Accessories and Ammunitions" (WG, LArm) of 20 June 1997, has as its objectives (Article 1) to combat the wrongful use of arms, their accessories, parts and ammunition. It governs the acquisition of arms, their introduction into Swiss territory, export, storage, possession, carrying, transport, brokerage. It regulates the manufacture and trade in arms, and seeks to prevent the wrongful carrying of ammunition and dangerous objects. Article 3 states that "The right to acquire, possess and carry arms is guaranteed in the framework of this law".[71][72]
