think Switzerland had its bout with socialism in the past, but saw its ineffectiveness and trashed the liberal leftist government.
dream on.. leftiests and socialists nearly rule out here..
but we will politically fight them as long as possible.
(just an example. You have in some of your state, the "castle doctrine".. which means you can fight an intruder in your own house with the means you think are needed.. this include shooting the bad guy....
well, here in Switzerland, things are different. Last month we had a old man beaten to death (with the wife surviving the beating) by two robbers who wanted the safe key.. when they only found 4000$ , they beated him again, and he died..
That's sad enough, but it's not the end of the story. In the same town, 2 weeks later, a young robber (who later claimed in wasnt) was caught by one citizen in his own property, attempting to enter his house.. The citizen caught the young robber, and retained him until the LEO's arrived the scene.
result ? the young robber is now suing the citizen because he did punch him while arresting him... and guess what ? in the newspapers, our "district attorney" just said that the citizen was wrong, and that you cannot hold someone, even if he is a robber..
things are just gettin crazier every day in europe.. humanism is exagerated, and often the victims and agressor roles are inverted by the so called "justice"...
And since 1999, we cannot legally carry anymore, unless we are very rich, or that someone attempts to kill us first.. and from 1999 our society just got more violent.. and guess what ? they still want to make our gun laws harsher..
You want a piece of advice ? forget Switzerland, head for Montana or Wyoming, and fight for your rights in the USA. The last land of freedom !
ps: stick to folk and country music instead of yoddling
)
BTW, if you live far enough in the countryside away from people, cannot you shoot your fully auto guns without bringing much attention to yourself? What is the penalty if you get caught without the day permit?
As we say around here, you have all rights, including the right not to get caught.. But Switzerland isn't exactly like Montana or Wyoming.. You're never far away from anybody or anything.. we are a small country, and people live nearly everywhere.
That means, you don't do such things.. getting caught by the police could go from a high financial penalty, to both financial penalty and all your guns taken away. That's a risk I am not willing to take, unless there is a very good reason for it. (like SHTF)
