That's not correct.

Looks like it's partly correct. They don't have a box of gov't provided ammo at home anymore, but they can buy their own?

If you want ammo at home in Switzerland you have to buy it yourself, there's usually no restriction as long as you are a Swiss citizen and have a clean record, and you must own a weapon that actually fires the ammunition you want to purchase.
There are some restrictions for foreigners depending on where they are from (for example, Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovans, Macedonians, Turks, Sri Lankans, Algerians and Albanians are explicitly forbidden from owning, storing, carrying and/or buying any weapon or ammo).

During military exercises Swiss soldiers and milita people receive ammo for their weapons, but must return any unspent ammo after the exercise.

At shooting ranges you can buy ammo at reduced prices, and you can take unfired ammo home with you if you are at least 18 years old. However, you cannot buy large amounts there, so "unfired ammo" usually means a few rounds.

Of the Swiss gunowners I know there's none who does not have a small amount of ammo at home.

Would not have mattered if they were allowed to own Guns.
The Event was declared a GUN FREE ZONE!
Obviously Hamas didn't follow the rule!
They actually KNEW that and made it a Target on just that fact!

So now Hamas are the target and rightly so.

Right. You think if they had said "Bring Guns just incase."
Hamas would have targeted that area?
I fooking doubt it!
Cowards will not attack a target that can fight back.
Then the Cowards run back to Gaza and hide behind the skirts of their Mothers.
Who probably knew what was going to happen!
Hand them ALL the 72 Virgins they want.

I'm all for that

Can you imagine the looks on the Mothers faces when they find out one of the 72 Virgins is their Son?

Jimbuna · 10-10-23, 12:51 PM

Or the look on sons faces when they find out one of the virgins is their Mother

In a documentary I once saw about Islam and it's history a Islamic scholar said that the Arabic word for Virgin could also mean grapes.

Imagine the looks on faces when they get 72 grapes!
WTF is this?

Additionally, no charges are expected to be brought against the victim, as he was defending himself.

"He’s being extremely cooperative. He has no criminal history whatsoever," Willkens said of the victim.

I stopped at the store to get a drink and as I was pulling up, I noticed these 2 troopers watching a woman who was smoking while pumping her gas. I saw her and thought, is this lady stupid, crazy, or both, especially with the police standing RIGHT there! But anyways, I minded my own business and went inside and got my drink.

As I was paying for my drink, I heard someone screaming!! Like I’m talkin' violent death screams! I looked outside and I saw that this woman's arm was on fire!! She was swinging her arm, running around going nuts!!

When I got outside, the police had the woman on the ground and they were putting the fire out!!
Then they put handcuffs on her and threw her in the squad car.. I was thinking, arrested?
Shouldn’t she be in an ambulance, not a squad car?? And being nosy as I am, I asked the police what they were arresting her for...
He looked at me, dead serious, and said, "waving a fire arm around”!!

What a relief!

I thought I was the only one over-indulging in puns, plays-on-words and double-entendre...
