I find it funny that any attempt to limit the sale or possession of Assault weapons and the NRA and there supporters scream that the country is turning into a police state by trying to take our guns.

it seems even the Swiss can say.. "Go fuck yourself if your going to take our guns away". And we are not talking about any Semi or Consumer version model here.. but full blown Rock and Roll Automatic Assault weapons with Grenade Launchers..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Switzerland

Gun politics in Switzerland are unique in Europe. Switzerland does not have a standing army, instead opting for a people's militia for its national defense.

The vast majority of men between the ages of 20 and 30 are conscripted into the militia and undergo military training, including weapons training. The personal weapons of the militia are kept at home as part of the military obligations;

Switzerland thus has one of the highest militia gun ownership rates in the world. In recent times political opposition has expressed a desire for tighter gun regulations. A referendum in February 2011 rejected stricter gun control.

Culture of guns... now this is what I call culture of guns.. not even seen in the USA.

"The government sponsors training with rifles and shooting in competitions for interested adolescents, both male and female.

The sale of ammunition – including Gw Pat.90 rounds for army-issue assault rifles – is subsidized by the Swiss government and made available at the many shooting ranges patronized by both private citizens and members of the militia. There is a regulatory requirement that ammunition sold at ranges must be used there."
