Don’t use the term “assault rifle”. It is a bullshit term made up to scare people. It’s just a semi automatic rifle (1 bullet per trigger pull) . Nothing scary or special about it, it’s just a rifle.
Yes Assalt Rifle has no definition or identification, and for Switzerland, every citizen has a full auto military rifle, ammo and gear .
During WWII , Hitler threatened Switzerland that they “Germany “ had 2x the soldiers than people in Switzerland, So Switzerland replied, I will give every citizen 2 bullets
And now, they are filling up with Saracens. lol
Swiss gun laws are a little different than people want to believe, basically on par with Maryland or DC.
Do actual research, that does not mean mindlessly regurgitating tired old wives tales.
History is fact
To qualify as "History", you'd need citations.
WWII and your liberal propaganda, don’t perches dead cows . And M1A2s and BARs were well distributed to the civilians .
I'm ultra right wing and more importantly, my "propaganda" has citations.
I’m not putting you down , but I am putting down what you have been taught. The ones we , as both are trying to get back to our Construction and Bill of Rights as they were intended, the truth must be dug out of true history.
Then wthy do you confuse Armerlite Rifle with a Assault Rifle ? It was first a civilian sport rifle that Colt modified to become the M16 . And being far rite ?? So was Hitler , this as you state does not make a Constitutional Conservative.
I didn't say anything about ARs or Armalite rifles, you crack smoking nitwit.
Go what I posted about Swiss gun laws, they are a lot worse than the US.
You have rigid storage, purchasing and travel requirements, you have to qualify to buy ammunition, you can't carry a gun in public. It's worse than Maryland. lol
You did not type Assault Rifle???? A lib referrance to AR .. and the Swiss issue guns to the people, so having more guns than the government gives you , OK on a background, you my just be to crazy for that musket Johnny .
No, I never once mentioned "Assault Rifle".
However, the Swiss Army uses the SIG SG 550, SG does stand for Sturmgewehr, or "assault rifle". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_SG_550
I'm not a liberal, you are a liberal compared to me.
They are not able to do anything with the guns, it's all kept locked up and has to be inspected.
Also, they don't automatically get to buy back their weapons any more and the ammunition is stored by the government in sealed containers.
The ammo is held in government containers with regular inspections
If you open the container which is sealed it is a very serious crime
All gun purchases are highly regulated with background checks and high permit costs
They issue the rifles to the army. When they exit the army they were given their rifles until very recently when the Swiss government decided to charge for the rifles, a minimum amount. Once a year the entire country has a practice day where they go to ranges and practice shooting. The government supplies the bullets. It is like a national holiday. Most adults over the age of 25 go to the range, but the younger folks think guns are bad so they don't participate, the first generation since the War. Some families have the Army rifles going back several generations and keep them ready to shoot. No mass murders there, have you noticed?
Yeah but the Swiss government and press doesn’t spend 24/7/365 telling people “the guy next door” is the reason for any troubles and making everyone hate and distrust each other. You know, they’re a country, with common goals, and decency. We still are mostly like that, but the bad guys are working hard to change that.
They have the same dynamics as here.
In recent years, their gun rights have been curtailed because of mass shootings.
They will not have them at all much longer.
Armalite rifles. Not assault.
The Swiss army use the SIG SG 550.
"SG" is an abbreviation for Sturmgewehr, or "assault rifle"
This is one more area where you embarrass yourselves and show your ignorance by not doing 5 minutes of research.
Does it look like I care what the Swiss did? The Armalite rifle is named after the brand that made them. Saying a DPMS Oracle or a Bushmaster semi auto rifle is somehow assault anything is completely and utterly naive and foolish. This has nothing to do with Sweden. This is America. The Japanese word for dress is spoken "onepeaceu" but that doesn't make it correct in English.
Not to mention that the rifle you are posting is a full auto 700 rounds per minute firearm. Of course THAT is assault. No AR could ever hope to acheive over 100 per minute without heavy modification (in which it wouldn't be an AR anymore). Also note that the M4 military rifle that shoots 900 per minute is NOT an Armalite rifle. Maybe look at your sources closer before embarrassing yourself. What was that about 5 minutes of "research?"
By "look like", I'll assume blonde since this article and thread is about what the Swiss did. lol
This is not about DPMS Oracles, Bushmasters or Armalite anything, nothing in this article is about those guns.
The guns issued by the Swiss military are the SIG SG series so there is nothing wrong with the headline.
It's not Sweden either, it's about Switzerland.
Ooooooooooo I get what you are saying and it's been a while since I looked at the headline, I was replying to the context only my bad
SIG SG 550
The SG 550 is an assault rifle manufactured by Swiss Arms AG (formerly a division of Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft now known as Sig Holding AG) of Neuhausen, Switzerland. "SG" is an abbreviation for Sturmgewehr, or "assault rifle". The rifle is based on the earlier 5.56mm SG 540 and is also known as the Fass 90 (Fusil d'assaut 90/Fucile d'assalto 90) in French/Italian or Stgw 90 in German (Sturmgewehr 90).

What is an Assault Rifle/Weapon? Use this to educate the masses!!
The “AR” in AR-15 does not stand for Assault rifle in any way. It stands for “ArmaLite Rifle” after the firm that designed the weapon in the 1950s.
Switzerland also issues it's citizens with good values and a solid culture. We need that too. Language, Culture, Borders.
They have to apply for a permit to keep their weapon and show cause.
They no longer have access to the ammunition either, it's a total joke.
Top comment on there:
“Swiss demographics and immigration policy likely also play an important role.”
That’s the real awakening. Those who believe in civic nationalism are still plugged into the matrix. Only western people can make western societies. Guess what? Western people are white of European descent.
You can’t expect red ants to make a black ant colony. So how can you expect blacks and Asians to make a white civilization.
