In my country, Switzerland, we have a lots of guns turning around, easy to buy, easy to hold.
When they reach 18 years old, swiss males have obligation to go to army and have obligation to accept receiving our national glory, a FASS-90, an assault rifle. At the end of the army period, they come back home with there war weapon and usually hide it under there bed, in a cupboard behind there collection of shirts or in the seller with there collection of bottles of wines.
I let you guess this is a huge problem, as precarity and mental disorders are rising inside the swiss population.
The fact is that swiss people are mainly using there weapons against themselves, to commit suicide.
It is like when they have to vote for an initiative, swiss people always commits suicide.
The people from my country must probably be sado-maso, always voting against there own interests.
Thanks for your journal, I'm following your channel since now, and will upvote and resteem your posts if I enjoyed like today.

Thanks Thierry - it sounds like maybe Switzerland is suffering from some of the same issues as the U.S. Economies are failing, climate is changing, opportunities are waning meanwhile we don't have support systems in place - neither on a community level nor on a broader political level. I see the beginning of this in Sweden as well (where I grew up).
Thanks for the post! Here's the full interview with scott, by the way: I felt the same way for a long time. Until I started reading about the Black Panthers and Zapatistas a few years ago, I was staunchly anti-gun. But the nuance and proof of history just doesn't jibe with that flat and simple stance.
Will make a separate post for the full interview but here's a link to the YT video:
you have much better chance of being killed by your own government after it implements gun control than any criminal or war or terrorist.
Is there a push in Switzerland for more gun control or are the Swiss secretly running the world and plotting to disarm everyone else?
Lol! Yes, there is a push to regulate guns in Switzeland but owning a gun is part of the swiss DNA. Switzerland does not only produce watches, chocolate and victorinox knifes, they keep producing firearms and war weapons and they do export these weapons to countries in war.....but, we are "Neutral". The swiss militaro-industrial complex has a long time friendship with the USA and Israel, developing all kind of special weapons and drones with Tshahal, welcoming there top guns pilotes in our swiss Alps for training before bombing Gaza. We could not be more neutral. We are not anymore the country of Heidi and her grandfather. Glysophates are everywhere (thanks to Mosanto), we have the oldest nuclear power plants on earth. Our trains are not on time anymore, my country took a bad direction since the rise of neoliberalism.
For a better understanding of global weapons trafficking, I invite you to watch the excellent biographic movie about the life of Viktor Bout :
"Lord of War" with Nicolas Cage.
You can easily download it as a torrent.
Have a nice day
PS. I have renounced to own a gun myself, my blood is much to hot, I can not guarantee self control
I've seen that one, perhaps my favorite Nicolas Cage movie. I would never watch a movie for free myself, that would be wrong. You should check this out you might get a kick out of it
