This is so stupid on so many levels, I don't even get silicon valley engineers can envision this stuff for their own kids. Or maybe they don't care. Whatever.
Well, being a "pathological pragmatist" one could have thought that he would advocate to lower gun violence by getting rid of the guns, rather than trying to demonstrate that people who live in nice and clean places are magically less violent.
Scroll down to “ I’ve heard that there are strict limitations on ammunition in Switzerland. Who can buy ammunition and how much can they acquire?”, the answer to which basically boils down to: anyone with a valid permit.
> Which is what the 2A ding-dongs are usually referring to when they pipe up with the usual "Switzerland has lots of guns!" nonsense.
No. It applies to weapons issued by the state.
> Plus restrictions on what kind of ammo, and the seller can request they perform a background check.
Man, it’s as easy to buy ammo in Switzerland as in the US. You can argue on all these minor points about background checks etc (btw majority of high profile shootings in the US are done with legal arms!), but it has nothing to do with reality.
The ammo thing is for the service rifle. Switzerland also has a very high private ownership level at least compared to the rest of Europe, and by they can keep ammunition at home (but secured, like the weapons).
