Switzerland sees gun sales
soar after terror attacks
By Helena Bachmann. July 27th, 2016
GENEVA – Business at Daniel Wyss' gun shop has been brisk lately in the village of Burgdorf near Switzerland's capital of Bern.
He said the increased demand for firearms is triggered by a growing fear among the Swiss public that terrorists could attack their tranquil land at any time.
As nations around Europe tighten their gun laws after a series of terror attacks in several countries since 2015, the Swiss are bucking this trend by turning to firearms for protection.
Official statistics show that gun sales in some parts of Switzerland soared nearly 50% after last year's attacks in Paris and the March bombings in Brussels. And gun sales continue to grow since the killings in France and Germany in the past two weeks. ..... 
Despite requirements for background check and a permit, for privately owned firearms -- inter-personal transactions require no license ,and hunting rifles and semi-automatic long arms are also exempt. The Swiss seem to have continued a common sense approach towards firearms ownership, with extremely minimal "blood in the streets" consequences -- something that hard core anti gun people probably refuse to accept as they continue their push for banning guns.
