switzerland has extremenly permissible gun laws and easy ability to buy fully automatic heavy machine guns (just can't shoot them unless the country is at war)
very very few gun related deaths due to...
fully automatic weapons are in the prohibited list.
Even the swiss standard issue rifle is modified to be semi auto only.
In the army (militia training), we were allowed to convert the rifle to shot full auto maybe 2-3 times.
Otherwise, modifying it to fully auto is illegal. (except for wartime, maybe that's where the misunderstanding was from).
some additional info:
In Switzerland, storing or transporting a loaded weapon is illegal. If you go to a range, you must load and unload your weapons at the range.
The standard issue rifle that soldiers take home, must be stored without the bolt/striker inserted.
After buying a gun, you're allowed to buy ammo for two years, after which you have to get another background check to resupply
Most gun ownership in Switzerland is the standard issue rifle, that all militia soldiers receive as a personal weapon. which is basically all men + some women that join voluntary.
They receive it when they are 20, and keep it while they are in reserves. After they rotate out, they can buy the weapon for like 100 bucks. A lot of people do, because it's a good deal, and why not
