Registered Guns: Which Countries Have The Highest Registered-Gun-To-Citizen Ratio?

I wonder what Switzerland's crime rate is with people having to bear arms?

And Switzerland stayed out of the EU also!

SHOULD BE MANDATORY IN ALL (54) STATES.....

A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined,but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independece from any who might attempt to abuse them,which would include their own government. George Washington.

Real assault rifles, and somehow they don't go around shooting each other.
I wonder how they manage that.

So they polled people concerning gun ownership...HAHAHAHAH. In Kennesaw, GA and lots of other U.S. towns, every home is legally obligated to maintain a firearm. Now if you don't comply, no problem. If YOU don't tell on yourself, NOBODY WILL KNOW !
Ya'll need to understand, criminals don't like that kind of mystery !

a really great idea because if your thinking of breaking into someone home you already know one thing!!!!!!!!!!! THEY GOT A GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Supreme Court has ruled that the police are not required to protect you. They are however required to try to catch your murderer or rapist. I for one would like to have the opportunity to protect myself.

The next time you hear or read of a young lady missing and presumed kidnaped, ask yourself if you think she would still be missing if she was armed. Ask yourself how you would react if she was your daughter and the state you live in wouldn't allow her to carry a gun for protection.

The state of California is a haven for criminals because very few law abding citizens are permitted to carry. Criminals on the other hand carry whatever they want. This is very sad indeed.

a people should not fear its government , the government should fear it's citizens.

So the most neutral country in the world requires military service?

better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

If everyone carried a gun in this country, there would be alot less crime...Initially there would be a small small spike in dead criminals. Immediately after, the the crime rate would drop.

Self defense is a basic human right

Right after Chicago outlawed ALL gun ownership, they became the murder capital of the U.S.. No correlation there.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. I choose to defend myself.

They have it right. And who wants to bet the violent crimes are a bit less there considering everyone knows everyone's got a gun.

The good lord made some men big and some men small. Samual Colt made them all equal

I've lived in Switzerland and it can be a little shocking when the train stops and a dozen kids board the train with their rifles and backpacks as they go off for annual training. Still, no one is nervous because the Swiss culture is one of peaceful neutrality. This goes to show you that it is the culture of the people and not the guns themselves that cause problems. Believe it or not there was a time when rifle marksmanship was a class in some high schools. American culture has deteriorated so much that it would be impossible to have that sort of thing today.

Which gets you a quicker response to a critical situation where seconds count? calling 911? or a 12 gauge shotgun?

If the mere thought of Americans owning guns scares you, imagine how terrified you would be if you ever tried to take them away from us.
