Incidentally, there is no armed crime in Switzerland and very little crime of any sort, who would break into a dwelling that had a fully loaded assault rifle with 24 rounds of ammunition and a person who is trained to use it?
Switzerland has a robust social security net and excellent public education, so has less desperation and poverty than, say, the USA.
Now, if the NRA wanted to back those type of measures, plus introduce the type of licencing and training that goes with gun ownership in the Switzerland, I'm sure gun deaths would plummet.
Doesn't seem to be the average NRA members agenda, however......
