Yeah, and their government GIVES them the assault
rifle for FREE (apart from taxes). Furthermore crime
of all types is incredibly low despite, or perhaps
because of, the fact that every household has an
assault rifle. Switzerland puts the lie to the whole
idea of gun control as a means of reducing crime. All
gun control does is allow any peaceful citizen to be
branded a criminal and have no resort when the storm
troopers kick down his door.
