Switzerland decreased gun ownership of its veterans and saw an immediate decrease in their suicide. Happened in 2000. You're not getting the full story of gun ownership in Switzerland by that post on its own.

Also, S&B and Magtech are owned by the same company CBC.

Winchester ammo is good stuff! Buy it! Hmmm....I wonder what would happen if I paid you all expenses and you ship me some ammo? Would it pass customs I think would be would ship would biggest hurdle on this end but I'm not sure about your end.

I was in Purchasing for manufacturing all of my life. I would buy from a company from Giroflex in Switzerland. The freight wasn't that bad.

I am not sure what you are referring to. The only recent (2010) change in order for a retiring soldier to keep his weapon (whether rifle or pistol) is the obligation to partake in three military shootings in the last three years of service. Previously it was not a requirement and anyone could keep the weapon at the end of the service.

A colleague slacked and missed this opportunity to keep his Sig 550-1 or Stgw 90 for cheap ($ 110.- fee to the army).

So he went and bought a new civilian one instead ($ 2800).

I have not seen a study or article that this minor change had any effect on the suicide rate.

Your country had high veteran suicides.

Then they didn't.

No policy has had such an immediate and dramatic affect on suicide. It's still your country's policy today too.

Yeah, that's a fine price on fine ammo. Go for it.
