Swiss authorities decide on a local level whether to give people gun permits. They also keep a log of everyone who owns a gun in their region — known as a canton — though hunting rifles and some semiautomatic long arms are exempt from the permit requirement.Cantonal police don't take their duty doling out gun licenses lightly. They might consult a psychiatrist or talk with authorities in other cantons where a prospective gun buyer has lived to vet the person.People who've been convicted of a crime or have an alcohol or drug addiction aren't allowed to buy guns in Switzerland.The law also states that anyone who "expresses a violent or dangerous attitude" won't be permitted to own a gun.Gun owners who want to carry their weapon for "defensive purposes" also have to prove they can properly load, unload, and shoot their weapon and must pass a test to get a license....Switzerland still has one of the highest rates of gun violence in Europe, and suicides account for most gun deaths in the country....After hundreds of years of letting local cantons determine gun rules, Switzerland passed its first federal regulations on guns in 1999, after the country's crime rate increased during the 1990s.Since then, the government has added more provisions to keep the country on par with EU gun laws, and gun deaths — including suicides — have continued to drop.As of 2015, the Swiss estimated that only about 11% of citizens kept their military-issued gun at home....Concealed-carry permits are tough to get in Switzerland, and most people who aren't security workers or police officers don't have one."We have guns at home, but they are kept for peaceful purposes," Martin Killias, a professor of criminology at Zurich University, told the BBC in 2013. "There is no point taking the gun out of your home in Switzerland because it is illegal to carry a gun in the street."
The problem with plagiarizing posts from Facebook that are meant for gullible idiots is they have usually been debunked before you even steal them. 😆https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/little-gun-history/
Did you even read your own fact check? Doesn’t debunk much at all. 😂
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
Based on the actual evidence at hand, we find it reasonable to conclude that gun confiscations, facilitated by laws requiring the registration and/or licensing of firearms, played a crucial role in the carrying out of twentieth-century genocides. However, gun control per se — properly defined as a set of laws regulating gun ownership that can range from minimally restrictive to outright prohibitive — is neither a cause nor even a reliable predictor of mass exterminations, whereas the presence of a repressive military dictatorship most certainly is.
Your boomer meme:Snopes:
Why did you dismiss the first two sentences of that paragraph?
If I wanted to "dismiss" them (whatever that means), I wouldn't have included them at all you idiot.
Why didn’t you put it bold? Kind of important huh?Based on the actual evidence at hand, we find it reasonable to conclude that gun confiscations, facilitated by laws requiring the registration and/or licensing of firearms, played a crucial role in the carrying out of twentieth-century genocides.
Truth 👇👇👇A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
I didn’t write it, I’m just sharing it. Because it’s true.
What’s the difference between gun control vs confiscation when Trudeau wants to ban almost all guns? If you don’t allow somebody to have a gun, you don’t need to confiscate it. He’s just attacking it from the front end.
Canadians have the right to feel safe in their homes, in their schools, and in their places of worship. With handgun violence increasing across Canada, it is our duty to take urgent action to remove these deadly weapons from our communities. Today, we’re keeping more guns out of our communities, and keeping our kids safe.
Our government is taking Canada’s most significant action on gun violence in a generation. We made a commitment to Canadians that we would act – and we are. The national freeze will tackle the alarming role of handguns in crime, gender-based violence, and more. We are using all tools at our disposal to fight gun violence and will not rest until all Canadians feel safe in their communities.
