One must be careful when citing the Swiss as an example of a society where ownership of fully automatic weapons is permitted, because it's not quite true. Those in possession of select-fire military firearms must keep them stored without ammunition, and must be active members of the militia. After their contract to service expires, they may keep those firearms, but they must be converted to semi-auto only, and in neither case are they allowed to keep ammunition. When at the range for training/practice/qualifications, they sign for a specified amount of cartridges, which must either all be used, or any remainder surrendered back to the range.
The devil is in the details. |
