Something similar is happening in Austria as well. (For comparison: Switzerland has 50% more guns per capita than Austria).
Shooting ranges have extended their opening times due to high demand.
Shooting clubs stopped accepting new members since they already have a lot of newcomers this year and they need to get to know the people.

"Switzerland, land of peace, sees gun sales soar after terror attacks"

Im just going to break the headline down, because i couldn't reason actually reading anything past this.

Switzerland, Land of peace. Having remained neutral in almost all military conflicts since 1515 it is fair to call this a land of peace. I have no objection to that of course. Continuing on though we get "sees gun sales soar". This is very subtle language denoting that guns are anti-peace, that to own guns or support the owning of guns you must somehow be against peace. Consider for a moment that law enforcement officers are also called "peace officer", meaning that to enforce the peace and law this person should carry a gun. Somewhere the author of the article has a massive disconnect between civilian ownership and state control of guns. This type of thinking and language is the sickness that will result in total slavery of the non-elite.
