Does that sound like he can have ammo for the weapon?

If you have proof that he can, then post a link proving your claim.

What it does sound like to me is a BS article by gun control. I thought I stated that and why it is.

The proof is military law which you are free to read. It is no secret. Military laws do not apply to citizens. No I guess that is not good enough for you.

However let me post some of your favourite type of evidence unfortunately devoid of the validity producing blood splatter and tear jerk stories. He say different. Which are you going to believe?

It looks and sounds legit, so I'll believe it.

It just seems incredibly contradictory and nonsensical to make a big deal about not allowing military ammunition to be possessed but to allow possession of all the ammo you want in the same caliber as long as it didn't come from the military.

But......I'll accept it because that's the best compilation of information that I've seen.

As I said you could go to the laws themselves and find out but what you read are the facts. Carry for the Swiss is only by special permit (read well connected) and even going to the range you may not detour. I doubt such idiocy is enforced.

Gun control laws never make sense to citizens. The military issue firearms put Switzerland at the highest possession in the world. To remove that gun control only counts ownership rates.

As for the idiocy of the military ammunition recall and prohibition it is what gun control got after a huge propaganda campaign following a public shooting. Gun control had a long list of demands including bans and the political pressure needed to appease them or continue to be made to look like murdering trolls in the media by gun control. Yes it is idiotic and hinders nobody but gun control gained a step of acceptance. It's a psychological victory.

It's especially sad when Americans are given a distorted version that makes it sound like ammunition cannot be kept in homes in Switzerland when in truth the law abiding citizen can have as much as he wants--just like Americans can--the restriction is only on military-issued ammunition.

Typical distortion of the gun-haters.

It's stock in trade for gun control as they must lie about everything and convincing the public it's the guns not the counter-intuitive human that holds it, means they lie a lot.

It is not possible to prevent the sale of military calibre ammunition when target shooting and hunting are so popular. Shooting is the national sport. One can try like some countries have of prohibiting military calibre firearms. Mexico for one although these days only the really connected have legal firearms. Criminals have found through trial and error illegal guns shoot just as well as legal guns. Who would have thought....

Yeah, what would a PhD in psychology know about the way people think anyway.
