I appreciate your opinion. Speaking as a person raised in the South, I have seen some of those things that you heard of. I would point out though that Switzerland has people strolling the streets with ARs strapped to their backs. I know that is like comparing apples to oranges. I would like to know what the Swiss do so differently than us. I freely admit that we have a problem here in America, but I also realize that the situation is far more complicated than just a mental illness problem. We tend to oversimplify the issue and that prevents any real meaningful change. I would love to study Swiss culture and find out what makes them able to have ARs without people killing each other in the streets.

    Yeah but as I said, the Swiss do not have a problem with gun violence despite the prevalence of ARs. This leads me to believe that there is something about the Swiss culture and society that prevents the violence we see over here. I am a student of criminology so I would love to spend a year in Switzerland and observe and learn from them. [spoiler]You are such a turd!! ;-). I am very pleased to meet you, friend.[/spoiler]

    Possibly the Swiss have more common sense, and have better ways to keep the guns away from kids. Americans on the other hand so far have shown that they are unable to control the access of guns to children. Let me ask you a question. What do you to a little boy who doesn't listen. You take a way his toys. Same thing here. Take away the guns from the people. Simple. Eliminate the gun, and take away the risk of it doing harm. Simple.

  • Taking away the guns will create more problems. There are people out there who will consider it a literal act of war if the government makes that move. For the sake of peace, I hope that never happens.

  • Great they should make their own country then with their own stupid redneck laws. I prefer to be in a country where I don't have to worry about having someone shoot me in the head when I accidentally walk onto their property.
