This was questioned. "There are more weapons per capita in Switzerland than any other western nation"
This is probably true; Switzerland is the classic militia country. I don't know if the weapons are in individual homes or are secured in armories next to city hall. (The latter is likely the case for weapons excluding hunting rifles).
In the event of attack by another nation, all Swiss men were trained to immediately grab a weapon and respond.
Some historians have told us this is a major reason that Hilter did not attack the Swiss (second is their mountain defense).
The nation probably controls all weapons in the country pretty well.
