      Technically we have similar policies. Commit a felony and you can’t own a gun. Problem is, there are plenty of misdemeanors that you can commit which should disqualify a person from owning a firearm.

    In case you are wondering what the 4 rules are:
    -Always treat a gun as if it's loaded.
    -Never point your gun at something you don't wanna shoot.
    -Don't hold your finger on the trigger as long as you are not aiming for your specific target.
    -Always be aware of your target!
    That's what they tell everyone in the military.

      Interesting I am Norwegian but we are kind of different in the socializing. I think you Swiss are more into following rules than us. We are a bit more anarchist. But Norway is still a very peaceful place, but that is because there is a lot of emphasis from young age in Norway to learn how to compromise, do conflict resolution. But this goes all the way back to Viking times. Viking era Norway was very violent and there was no central power to keep order. No police or anything like that. To keep the peace people had to learn how to do conflict resolution and find compromises.
      This I find is the biggest difference for me when in the US. In the US I feel like the attitude is always "my way or the high way!" Stand your ground and take no shit from anybody seems to be the ethos. When you got people armed to the teeth that is kind of a receipt for disaster.

    In the city of Zurich there is an old tradition where boys and girls of the ages of 13 to 17 compete in a shooting competition using the Swiss Army assault rifle (in single-shot mode).
    While I never competed, I know that gun safety as Thor here tries to explain is taught before the shooting starts, so these young people know how to handle a gun at this young age.
    It's not fear we want, it's respect. These things can easily kill, and that's what we're taught.
    The rules of handling a gun are:
    1. Always treat a weapon as if it were loaded and the safety off.
    2. Never point the weapon at anything you don't want to kill.
    3. The finger stays away from the trigger until the weapon is pointing at the intended target.
    4. Be sure what you're about to shoot: Be sure that nothing is behind your target, hidden by it but still in the line of fire.
    Follow those 4 simple rules, which can also be boiled down to the term "common sense", and no accidents can possibly happen.

      But it's not just the diversity, our government uses the diversity to kedp us fighting with each other to keep us distracted. Look at the Twitter of Republicans vs Democrats same gibberish for years that's why they keep 2 parties. keep everyone arguing and shooting each other and we don't notice the top 1% gain 21 Trillion the last 30 yrs, while bottom 50% loses 1 trillion during that time. Finally figured out why we have a problem others don't. we have more diversity and our government uses it to divide.

      @Soso Mama Actually about 25% of the people living in Switzerland aren't citizens and many of the citizens have foreign roots. So there is definitely diversity. Switzerland is similar to the U.S. in a way that it is a magnet for immigrants because it promises better chances and better life quality. However I'd say the biggest difference is the education system. I've worked as a teacher in both countries and I just can't get over how many people seem to fall though the cracks and end up really uneducated and frankly I'd even call it narrow-minded.

In Geneva only, more than 140 languages are spoken, also more than 25% of the population in Switzerland is from foreign countries...the difference is on the integration of those individuals that are willing to know the country and its culture, it is also what we are getting the refugees into, by mingle them with the population giving them jobs so the money they get from the state is not a due but more like a salary making them responsible to earn it, therefore less segregation and more mixing so they do not feel left aside or ostracized unlike the US where if you do not have a bit you are nothing to be worth knowing.

If your background check does not come back clean or you lie on the form, your purchase is denied.

I’d prefer a school shooter that can’t aim whom I can line of sight, then point his gun up and beat him to death with the back of it. Over a tactically trained one any day, and most of this ‘training’ is common sense when shooting a gun. Don’t point it at somebody, keep it down the range, and don’t aim it unless you intend to kill with it. We in America however have too much gang violence and many mental health issues.

      And the New Zealand shooter? Did he have to get a license to purchase each of his TWO assault rifles -- the ones he used to shoot up that mosque in Christchurch?
      These procedures are not the reason why there are fewer mass shootings or lower gun crime overall in Switzerland.
      The Islamist terror attacks in France, carried out several years back, involved assault rifles brought to France from the Balkan countries.
      The AVAILABILITY of firearms (legally or not) has NOTHING to do with the murder rate in a country. If the gun controllers' theories were correct, then Switzerland's homicide rate should be much closer to America's or Mexico's or South Africa's ...rather than Japan's.

There are some guns collectors & fans like in every other country, they can use their collection guns in shooting range probably. Apart from that small number of people and variety of guns (collectors) all the guns the Swiss people have at home is their military provided assault-riffle. This goes back to the Minute-Men type of organistion of the Swiss Army to help speed up any mobilisation in case of war. There is regularly (once every 10 years maybe) some sort of case of a guys goes nuts and use is military assault-riffle to shoot at someone, but is is rare and far between.

      Private gun ownership in Switzerland is not pointless, in spite of it being a very safe environment. It is not about personal protection or increasing the apparent size of your tackle, it is about protection of the State against invasion - the same reason they have mandatory conscription - a very real possibility for a tiny country like Switzerland.

      @@notroll1279 Switzerland has been invaded before, as recently as 1719 I think was quoted in the video. During WW2, they were virtually surrounded by conflict and Invasion was a very real possibility. Self-defence against Invasion is an all pervasive doctrine and gun ownership and familiarity with weapons is a part of that concept. Personal defence and genital aggrandisement do not appear to be obvious reasons for their gun ownership laws, so what other reason do you propose for an otherwise very safe and regulated society?

      I suppose, however, that any reservist bringing his private longbow, catapult, AK 47 or Mauser to army exercises will be laughed out of the barracks - the army are surely well equipped by themselves and have the right mix of weaponry, ammo and parts for that. So "defence of the country" really can't be the reason for private gun ownership.

      1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded. 4:30
      2. The laser rule: Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction
      3. Keep your finger straight, off the trigger, out of the trigger guard and on the frame until on target and ready to shoot.
      4. Know your target and what is beyond it; you are responsible for every round. 4:47
      Notice if you obey any one of these rules you will completely avoid a negligent discharge! It's a great set of rules. Always follow them. Also, if you break any one of these rules in a formal setting you are liable to be removed.

      Well the 4 rules in Switzerland are more or less already mentioned by some other users but it's not only knowing them that is important, but it is to understand them. In the Swiss military we learned following rules:
      1. Treat all firearms ALWAYS as if they are loaded
      Meaning: each time you pick up a firearm you must do a personal security check. You check if there is a bullet in the chamber and in the magazine. You do that as well by pointing it in a safe direction.
      2. Only point your firearms in the direction of a target you really want to hit
      Meaning: you never ever point your firearm at someone or something you actually not attempt to really hit
      3. As long the aiming sighting device is not pointed at a target your trigger finger must ALWAYS be kept straight and outside the trigger guard or on the frame
      Meaning: you never walk around with your trigger finger on the trigger itself unless you are ready to shoot
      4. Be sure of your target
      Meaning: think first before shooting, check your targets you are responsible for every round
      Not the firearm is dangerous but always the User handling it!

    difference is culture, not laws or guns. If you could magically remove all the guns in the USA you would still have the same amount of violent crime and near the same number of deaths. The guns haven't undergone any meaningful changes in the last 30-40 years and yet this issue is pretty new. It's a change in the population.
