Incidentally, Swizterland banned the storing of ammunition outside of armouries a few years back. It's part of their tackling of the gun murder problem. There have been several high profile shootings in the last decade done with those assault rifles. It's all change there.

However, I think this is all getting a bit off topic. Gun crime is vaguely related, but let's keep the comic book talk to the relevant section.
