For example, this page... http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-switzerland.htm </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> Switzerland has compulsory gun ownership for military age males, yet it has a far lower murder rate than the U.S. But Switzerland also has far stricter gun control laws. Even so, Switzerland has the second highest rate of handgun ownership and handgun murders in the industrialized world, after the U.S. <span id='postcolor'>

Switzerland's gun laws are petty strict when compared to the U.S.<span id='postcolor'> I thought Switzerland is traditionally known for its high private gun ownership?

In 1927, a disgruntled farmer placed dynamite in the basement of a local school and set it off, killing 44 students http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial7/bath/4.htm http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/4077/kehoe.html<span id='postcolor'> well that is not realy a significant detail is it? What made it so terrible was that C. was well prepared beforehand. They actually intended to blow up the holse school (thanks they were amateurs). How can you and your friend plan your own dead days beforehand. Even for people with suicidal intentions that is untypical!<span id='postcolor'> The 1927 incident was also well planned before hand, he planned to destroy the school and placed enough dynamite to destroy the entire school but only part of the school exploded, because of some wiring problems he didnt notice the problem.
