Gun laws in Switzerland are pretty funny  :D

Why do you say that ??? ? Im honestly curious.

With 12 you'll get a rifle if you want or not. 40% are paid by the local gun club, 60% by the government AFAIK. Switzerland has no army, they are an army.

Mmm, that's not entirely what I read, however you're spot on with the payment options.

Switzerland distributes a gun to every 9 people. The 10th person, instead of being given a gun, is given a Rocket-Propelled weapon of some type like a RPG. (Not exactly sure what they use there.)

I can't tell if you are telling the truth or lying for fun :P. Cause if that's true, I worry what will happen in Switzerland when a riot breaks out O_O. Oh the gun driven horror

Switzerland is actually a fairly safe country from what I hear. No, they forcibly deliver you a gun.

This is probably why Switzerland hasn't been in a bloody war since 1815 with France. They've remained neutral ever since, however are still home to the Swiss Guard whom fought for independent Italian nations until the 1860s...

We are OT but I have 1 last question. Does the Swiss Guard actually use Swiss army knifes?

The Swiss Guard are the guys in puffy pants that guard Vatican City. I dunno how many different attachments their poleaxes come with. :P
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
