Is that a reputable media?
 
That country needs their gun laws relaxed.

I think you will find that Switzerland has a very high gun per capita ratio. It is mandatory for a male to serve in the militia and after service he is required to own a rifle. Even so, firearm related crimes are so low they are considered negligible.

Having said that, absurd things said by minorities always seem to attract media attention.
 
I would be very surprised to find this true. It's likely just someone trolling. Switzerland is already somewhat xenophobic, I highly doubt anything like this would even get discussed.

That's somewhat of an understatement too. Some aspects of the armed swiss society welcome these types of news articles to fan their fascist hearts.
