54. In Switzerland every home has a GENUINE MILITARY assault rifle.
And a full basis load of ammo too. And rifle shooting is a national sport. The young men are in their army reserves and are issued a REAL ASSAULT RIFLE and are required to keep it at home with the ammo. So if they are ever attacked, the basic weapons are not at an amory that can be siezed.

It doesn't seem to have caused them any problems.

The USA assault rifle ban DID NOT outlaw assault rifles. They were already illegal. It outlawed cosmetic look alikes. It outlawed rifles that looked like military rifles but had regular internal workings. It outlawed ugly guns.
