This is getting _very_ OT, but the Swiss situation - where after
undergoing military training you are issued with a fundamentally
unconcealable firearm whose rifling pattern is known, and a very small
number of bullets - and god help you if any of them go missing - is
completely unlike the American one, and only in the minds of the NRA
does Switzerland tell you anything about unrestricted gun ownership.
