This 5 minute documentary amazed yours truly because in the US, there is a gun violence on every single day. So it is a huge debate whether citizens should be allowed to have guns or not. Guns can be used to protect your family and your country in case of an invasion. If you are a hunter, guns can provide you food. I found out that many Swiss people owns a gun but the crime rate is zero. The last gun violence happened in Switzerland was in 2001. In the US on the other hand, it happened every single day. That shows the discipline and how law abiding people in Switzerland are. In the US there are school shootings and mass gun shootings.
Michael Kosta travels to Switzerland to investigate why the country experiences virtually no mass shootings despite being one of the world's most heavily arm...

Aren't there any terrorists there ? In my country, we are not allowed to carry a weapon, only the army, the police and security officers and even that is allowed when having a safe in the house. The safe must be installed onto a wall made of concrete and not blocks. ummm...I think it is better to not have any weapons at all then give it to everyone. Weapons require some maintenence, discipline, training...I wish there were no weapons at all in the world. This article is nice, I like how they all have a weapon and almost never abuse it.

@stringer321 It is like in France, hunting licences may be very expensive, most of hunters do it for sport. Without them we would have wild boars inside cities.

@topffer poor animals, Is it necessary to hunt so much? No other sources of food? Farm?

@topffer People must also take lessons regularly to be sure they do not shot a hunter instead a deer.

Interesting, But Switzerland also treats each other with respect so they do not want to kill each other. America has hate and anger issues and anyone who says different is lying to you. I am not sure how we get so many tourists. People so rude, I would be like screw Hollywood and Disneyland. That country is not right. Never going back. Just calling it how I see it and I live here. To be fair, used to be better, seems to keep getting worse though. Spoiled brats.

Other countries should implement their system. People should be this disciplined.

I am sorry to hear that countries have a high crime rate, because many people are killed with weapons

A weapon should be a protection for the family not used for killing innocents.
