[–] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) How do any gun control laws in Switzerland compare to the US? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) From Switzerland: "Depending on the type of weapon, you will require a sales contract, a weapon acquisition permit or an exemption permit." Semi-automatic weapons require a permit, and fully automatic weapons and firearms with large capacity magazines are banned and only allowed under special, petition able circumstamces. -- For military service issued weapons: The Swiss don't allow their citizens access to ammunition (they used to issue a single magazine IIRC), all weapons are only distributed based on compulsory military service, and are to remain locked away except for when transported to the firing range for your annual qualification or practice. Also, I do t think they allow swiss to keep their rifles anymore; I believe they are currently stored in the armory. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago Sounds like a well regulated miltia :thinking: permalink fedilink source parent
