Three dead and they call it 'a massacre'? A tragedy, undoubtedly, but a massacre?

Maybe they call it a massacre because it rarely happens over there...

Not true. It does happen over there. There have been several high-profile incidents over the years, including the killing of 14 people at a city council meeting in Zug in 2001. Last month a 33-year-old man killed three women and wounded two men in a southern Swiss village. Over 75% of murders in Switz are carried out with firearms.christel wrote:Maybe they call it a massacre because it rarely happens over there...
Crime relative to gun ownership is low but the reason this is called a massacre is because that's what the media wants to call it.

Are the Swiss crying for immediate restrictions on gun ownership though?

Typical BBC - OTT anti gun hysteria. The terminal incontinence from the beeb whenever a gun is involved os infuriating. No blame attributed to the person who pulled the triggger as the BBC KNOWS that guns are sentient beings with a will and mind of their own, able to exert mind control rays over the human species on a whim.
Crying for restrictions, probbaly not, only a few do so but the media see a few as "everyone"....it's a sort of mental blindness they have through years of telling lies. They cannot help it.

in fact this quote seems to sum up the attitude:LeighC wrote:No, they're not!Thomas Turner wrote:Are the Swiss crying for immediate restrictions on gun ownership though?
Hermann Suter, vice-president of the Swiss lobbying group Pro Tell, is infuriated by calls that the Swiss military should give up their guns and store them in a central arsenal.
"It is a question of trust between the state and the citizen. The citizen is not just a citizen, he is also a soldier, " he reminds me. "The gun at home is the best way to avoid dictatorships - only dictators take arms away from the citizens."
Are YOU listening UK Government????????
As for the Beeb reporting - sign01

The BBC is run by the government.
They are instructed to magnify firearms incidents.
