[quote=CONCHO][quote=captcha]If you are an ‘auslander’ good luck getting any of that. The country generally has no areas like Logan Heights and East LA or associations like Vista Home Boys.[/quote]

Actually, foreigners may own weapons in Switzerland as long as they have a residence permit and are not from countries on a “prohibited” list. More details here. What isn’t mentioned in the article is that I think this is the long-term permit, which takes 12 years to get. But it is possible for foreigners to have guns there.

True that they don’t have gangs and the sorts of low-life we have here. But again, that has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with who we are as a culture. Just like “Bowling With Columbine” tried to say.[/quote]

And huge majority of foreigners living/working in Switzerland for that long (and generally referred as auslanders) comes from those countries. I did not have US or German bankers in mind.
