33. Excuse me Cow, I was responding to the post
that used Switzerland as an example of more guns and less violent gun crime. Actually I should have said better laws, rather than more laws. Switzerland has enforceable gun laws, like registration of handguns. Also a less paranoid population that has no fear of their government taking away their guns for some nefarious, tin foil plot to turn their country into a socialist heaven. I think that kind of cultures comes from more of a focus on education and less on iron fisted ideology.

Would be very interesting to use the same method of counting up U.S. gun laws as you have and count the number simple enforceable gun laws in Switzerland. I'll bet they have a much lower # of laws as one set covers the whole nation. Also, I'll bet they have a much lower, any way you want to count them, number of gun violations.

I'm with you, lets lower the number of laws and use Switzerland as an enforceable model for our laws.
