It’s weird because Switzerland is one of the most armed countries in Europe, as in they have firearms but barely any shootings of any kind (so you don’t often hear news equivalent to a guy shooting students in a classroom or killing people at a shopping mall over there). Part of it has to do with the draft (most people who purchase firearms have a form of training, as they learnt how to properly handle them during military service).

    in the US, theres significant propaganda to maintain gun ownership and ammosexuals, usually amongst conservatives and are quite misinformed about gun control in blue areas, because it also preys on paranoia, its ties into low education,not always but often. its also part of movies, shows,etc.

    plus the ammosexuals fantasize about shooting people all the time(they would love for people to give them an excuse to do so)
