We have more guns than quadruple Switzerland's entire population.

(14,733 posts)5. But that does make me wonder
why the heck are they carrying rifles into grocery stores and candy shops?
Guns are tools that serve specific purposes. I have all sorts of tools, and I don't carry any of them along with me when I go shopping. (Other than reusable shopping bags.) I take tools with me only to the places I want to use them. So why would you take a gun along anywhere you didn't intend to use it?
Does Switzerland fear invasion from its neighbours?
