re: #290 Holidays are Family Fun TimeThe idea that each home should have a shot gun for self-defense (or rifle as in Switzerland) as a deterrant or whatever —doesn’t work when those 90 guns are not in 90 homes.

There’s a rifle in every home in Switzerland because it is mandated by law. Every person over 18 serves in the military for two years and has to take their rifle home with them as they stay in the reserves for another twenty years. They’re under military discipline and an officer or non-com can visit their home and inspect their firearm at any time.

This is a good thing. Learning firearm discipline is a good thing, and I’m betting the armed forces screen out the real loons tout de suite.

It will never happen here though. It would sound too much like gun control, Communist gun control, to the loons.
