The Swiss are on the verge of changing forever. For no good reason, they’re participating in a referendum to force their militia members to turn their issued militia weapons into a central armory<\/a> instead of the traditional gun cabinet in their homes as they’ve done for centuries. <\/p>\n

And why would they change the Swiss character as it’s been for centuries? For no good reason. The article cites one shooting incident ten years ago and points at the 300 suicides\/year as sufficient reason. 300 out of a population of 7 million.<\/p>\n

Backed by a broad coalition of nongovernmental organizations, center-left and center-right politicians, and women\u2019s groups, the initiative was born in large part in reaction to a series of shooting incidents, particularly the 2001 spree at a government building in Zug that killed 14 people.<\/p>\n

Friedrich Leibacher, who killed himself after the massacre, used a commercial version of the Swiss army\u2018s SG 550 assault rifle \u2014 a gun still commonly found throughout the country in cupboards or under beds, the Associated Press reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it wasn’t even his issued weapon, but a similar one he had purchased. The article also doesn’t mention how many of the suicides are committed with the issued weapons. Basically, the whole country is scared (well, more than half of the country) is scared. <\/p>\n

Scared of nothing. It’s like they all yelled “Boo” at once and scared themselves. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
