What about the old Swiss rifles in my basement (and the basements of many INGO members). The Swiss don't destroy them, they sell them. Destroy is just the cover story.

You know how that goes, Mr. J. Governments says they will destroy guns but then turn and sell them to the Greek or Armenian arms dealers. Just like how BDR "destroyed" all those DDR AKs by selling them to both sides in Yugoslavia.

Or, how Chicago, New Orleans, or NYC "destroys" guns (publicly chuck a few in the furnace) and then sell, usually with 100 or 150 mile restrictions, the rest that they do not keep (very few get stolen as most are junk).

Do they not check for bore obstructions in the American militree in the same manner?

Nope, they have a rod they drop in on an open bolt. I know if I'm looking down a bore, I'm holding the "cleared" rifle myself.

I want one given to me too!

 

[oldbikelvr]

I believe military service is required for all able bodied citizens and they are on inactive reserve pretty much forever.

I was meaning that the Swiss are required to keep their service rifles in their homes.
