Liberal/Socialist are the same in every country - they want unarmed subjects to rule.....by Nancy :(SWISS MISS GUN POLICY'S TRAGIC BLOWBACK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- An affluent nation where guns are everywhere worries about its suicide rate. But it's not the United States. It's Switzerland. Guns are omnipresent in the Alpine country - estimates run to at least one for every three of its 7.5 million inhabitants. Many are stored in attics, a legacy of Switzerland's famed policy of arming its men to defend its neutrality -- which has helped the country avoid the need for a large standing army but flooded it with weapons. "Compared to countries abroad, a large number of suicides involve firearms . . . and that's of course because it is easier to get hold of guns here," said Boris Banga, a socialist member of Parliament who wants stricter laws. The Swiss suicide rate stands at 19.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to a 2005 study, well above the global average of 14.5 and the European Union's 14.1.
