Nestlé is Swiss, and the Swiss have a gun ownership rate that doesn't exactly say "not armed to the teeth". And they siphoning the great lakes is definitely a North American problem.

Yeah the Swiss seem to be who Americans think we are. A free federation of states that embraces the multiple cultures that formed it and is filled with responsible gun owners who are ready to defend their country if need be.

The Swiss may have plenty of guns (they take it home after army duty), but that doesn't mean they have bullets.

Don't go around spewing NRA rhetoric.

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

They do have bullets, all that is stopping the from using them is some wrapping that is "not to be opened".

There's a reason Switzerland has the highest rate of guns used for violent death in Europe. The fact that they have one of the lowest rate of violent deaths is unrelated.

I was referring to the third world countries where they do their worst offenses
