"if you hate the NRA so much, what are you doing in Switzerland where almost every house has a firearm? Once again, you are making a fool out of yourself here." Wasn't Yogi supposed to be "smarter than the average bear"?...well, I think this bear is dumber the the average doughnut...you know not what you speak...the Swiss, as part of their MANDATORY armed services are all given a rifle, which they simply hang on to...the Swiss then keep their rifles as more or less mementos to their military service and keep them under tight lock and key....there is little or no connection between Swiss households having guns and the NRA...go try to find an AK-47 in a Swiss family's home or a whole host of other weaponry whose only intent is to kill or maim other human beings...has nothing to do with gun control, the NRA or my being or not being in Switzerland and magically so, the Swiss do not seem to have the same problems with gun control as the Americans ala Columbine, kids shooting kids and teachers, every crack dealer with a 45 magnum or zip gun, nor do they have some dopey group called the NRA who still don't seem to get it.
