Because we don't have regular mass shootings in schools because we don't give every single person the money for a ticket to a gun show a gun and where we do, we legislate that they keep their gun in a gun safe. You know, like the rest of the world...or the USA in 1792.

It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

In Switzerland most people give their state issued gun away when they are not serving. So almost nobody has a gun at home.

Ah but is that not something they opt to do because they feel safe? In comparison, American gun nuts would never do that, they don’t feel safe without their guns.

all 37 of them

So that's part of the same point. They COULD have access to guns and could shoot each other, but nobody wants to. Thus guns are only a problem when there’s other underlying issues.

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 1 points 5 hours ago

Nope, Switzerland had one of the highest rates of gun suicides before measures were taken.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But since US has the issues, you should lock guns away.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 minutes ago

Aye, but when all the lunatics already have guns and you remove the guns from the responsible citizens, is that putting people in more or less danger?

I think it's too late at this point to solve this one via gun control.
