RE: Deconstructing Arguments Against Gun Ownership, Part 3
At one time in Switzerland every male over the age of, from memory, 21 was issued a rifle and so many rounds. The media isn't reporting mega deaths from there, maybe because they weren't semi,full automatic rifles that were issued.
Like a car it is not the gun that kills it is the nut behind it.
The SIG SG 510 select-fire battle rifle has been in service since 1957. The SG 540 and SG 550 select-fire assault rifles are also in service.
It would be interesting to calculate,
Swiss = males over the issed gun age = deaths per year
USA = males of the same age = deaths per year
The problem is still isolating whether the firearms alone are a factor. The violent black markets in the US stemming from prohibition laws are a major factor in violent crime here, for example.
1984, find a new 2nd amendment that says" only if.......", legalize drugsand sell all the stuff that they cofiscate, a good profit margin there, use the money to pay hospital bills, the druggies will conti ue to try to import so you have an ongoing source for free.

You might find this independent film interesting. I guarantee it doesn't fit the usual spin on anything.
