    Which is patently absurd given the current mass killings.

    Ironic given the disingenuous distortion of what Scalia ACTUALLY WROTE in Heller!

    Facetious drivel duly noted and ignored since it contributes nothing of substance.

    The criteria of most of your posts.
    Quite ironic.

    Gun rights people use Switzerland as a positive example of lax gun laws, and they may know that the majority of gun violence in Switzerland is men committing suicide, but what they don't know is that Switzerland has a law that allows the police and mental health doctors to visit people who may be a danger to themselves or others, and if they deem they are, the authorities take the gun(s) away and don't allow them to get more.

    Yes, they actually go to the home and interview the person to see if he should have a gun. If the doctors and police think he shouldn't have a gun, they simply take it away and don’t allow him to get another. So gun laws in Switzerland are not so lax after all.

    This makes sense. Just look at all the white male witnesses against the Clintons that accidentally committed suicide during that time frame. Clear spike.

    Which the united state supreme court has specified makes no difference in the matter. According to their rulings, it does not matter how often firearms are used by the criminal element in the commission of murders or mass shootings, it is still not enough to remove their constitutional protections for legal ownership and use under the second amendment.

    And nothing that was written in Heller that amounts to actual substance, has been cited by yourself in this discussion.

    Then do not talk about the availability of grenade launchers as if it is a problem, if grenades are not equally and readily available for use.

    Where is the actual proof of such a claim? Demonstrate it.

    Are you claiming that the more common mass shootings are the more unusual the weapons become that are used in them? The last mass shooter used a pump shotgun and a revolver. Which of those is both dangerous and unusual?

    If true, then obviously the Swiss can handle lax gun laws. America certainly can't handle any current regulation, the 2nd amendment and their claimed freedom.

    An unfounded opinion.

    Switzerland has about as many people as just New York City alone, and is about the size of Vermont and New Hampshire. In 2009, Switzerland had 51 homicides. NYC, the city with the strictest laws in the country, had 461. Evidently even with extremely strict laws criminals will be criminals.

    As far as accidental gun related deaths, Americans are safer with firearms than ever before in spite of there being more guns in the US than ever before:

    "Gun sales at all-time high, accidental gun deaths at record low"
    https://www.onenewsnow.com/science-...time-high-accidental-gun-deaths-at-record-low


    EXCERPT "Recently published statistics show that as gun sales in the United States have hit record highs, accidental gun fatalities have simultaneously sunk to record lows.

    The announcement by the National Safety Council (NSC) has taken ammunition away from the gun control activists, who have argued for years that fatalities and injuries in America increase as the number of firearms in citizen’s hands rises."CONTINUED

    Switzerland has very nice people that do not litter, spit, cuss, and are very neat & clean, a Country of Felix Ungers, they do not have our massive hoards of people selling illegal drugs and acting all Gangsta,
    Or White Supremacist B.S. Biker Gangs, Mafias, and assorted gun toting Criminals that cycle in and out of the Revolving door prison system.

    So any comparison between Switzerland and the U.S. as far as demographics and the express purpose of enacting further gun control, is questionable.

    The country of Switzerland has respect of rule of law. The united states, by comparison, is devoid of rule of law, making it little better than the nation of Mexico.

    There's no need for that - Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire will do.

    Look up the Clinical definition of
    "Projecion" you will find I am not projecting at all, I am merely defining your posts.

    Thelma Harper obviously loves to stir the pot by liking your posts.
    He probably does not even read them.

    Suicide is not "gun violence".

    Switzerland has full vetting and background checks, interviews etc...

    No Laxitive gun laws either in Switzerland or the U.S. as the U.S. has standards for all Gun Stores in all States.
