The shooting range where you fire over a busy road

@Michael Marx it actually is „high german“

Ah yes, Swuisse German, what even regular Germans can’t understand let alone trying to transcribe the whole ordeal

well, the Swiss German excuse doesn’t really make sense – Schutzwaffen isn’t really a thing even in German, while Schusswaffen definitely exist(s) – but eh, doesn’t really matter anyways, great video 🙂
10/10 Neutrality

@jay soto they’ve fought vehemently to prevent closing the gunshow loophole, which is how a lot of firearms are legally sold to illicit weapons’ dealers and have impeded attempts for waiting periods and mental health being part of background checks. The ease of access to a weapon also leads to increased suicide rates. The NRA used to actually advocate for gun owners, but they’re now only manufacturer lobbyists. They’ll drum up fear when dems are in power, causing weapon and ammo sales to skyrocket. Then during repub terms, they consolidate power and ensure manufacturers are protected from potential lawsuits. They’ve been very good at their job, until recently when it turns out the ceo was siphoning money off the top for himself.
Culture is never a monolith, but it’s clearly different how we venerate firearms compared to anywhere else in the world. There are literally more weapons than people, with nearly 400,000 of them unregistered (that is more than most countries have total). We literally value access to firearms are a more important right than access to food, water, housing and definitely healthcare. Obviously not everyone thinks this is the right way to do things, but clearly not enough people think differently enough to change any of this.
There is clear evidence that access to a firearm increases successful suicide rates, which is the majority of gun deaths in the US. Instead of coming anywhere near trying to address this problem, instead the NRA got the CDC banned from even studying gun violence as a morbidity factor.

@jay soto  Very true on both counts. They should be seen as a tool not a symbol. And I wish someone would answer your question and elaborate on how the NRA’s lobbying on behalf of gun makers specifically, results in more deaths. I assume maybe they meant that the fear mongering and politicisation degrade gun owning culture and prevent sensible action being taken (by government or otherwise).

@Василий Сардина I mean the country like the video stated has a lot more guns per capita than most EU countries, so there’s a much higher chance of that murder being committed with a gun instead of a knife, bludgeoning tool, hands or any other tools you might consider. The more interesting statistic is that despite having a load of guns in the country homicide rates are actually among the lowest in the civilized world(sitting at only 10% of the US’s homicides per capita). So it might suggest that private gun ownership doesn’t need to cause high violence/murder rates, but the rules, regulations and culture about gun ownership in Switzerland are only part of that puzzle.

@Robert Swann You’d be surprised what a projectile traveling the speed of sound can do unpredictably.

@Aryan Pashtun Usually the rocks are thrown backwards, and then the car crashes into them at full speed.

The bullet is going to act much like a rock, and be crashed into.

Yes, it’ll break the windshield, but that’s it. Like it does to rocks, the windshield will protect against bullets.

It’s just bad luck when you have to replace it. I guess another question is whether or not the bullets deformed egde is as jagged as a rock’s.

Imagine underestimating a gun

@No-Life Noah CIA and SAS trained.

@agustin venegas Shooting prone does help as the rifle is supported very well by the ground. It still takes skill to shoot well though.

Tom has shooting experience.

Or if you’re in a tall truck driving by

I think the shooters would be sensible enough to let any vehicles sticking out above the wall pass

Imagine having a picnic right where the targets are.
