The Ammo is no longer given home through the most recent political decision. A pitty the internet sucks so much, and not all news can be found in english... news-networks' comment systems are supervised and censored. The government has very radically and suddenly changed its opinion about gun control, and decided the ammunition to stay within military installations. Holocaust 2. This is over now.

They are trained and there are strict guidelines on storage of weapons. WJ is right, hand grenades and even RPGs are in homes depending on the reservists location and duties. “A well regulated militia“.

You have said nothing direct about the gun laws in Switzerland other than "Mandatory gun ownership for guys. ". That in fact is a mis-statement of the article which clearly says "They are <b>given</b> an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home." That is <b>NOT "compulsory gun ownership"</b>. OK, come on and give us the rest of it…
