Switzerland’s Responsible Gun Nuts Pt. 2 | The Daily Show 

an ex-president sitting around drunk people with guns. That alone says a lot.

Switzerland in a nutshell: "Well that's your problem." 🤣

Only in Switzerland can someone say, "oh don't worry, *they're shooting.* "

Seeing someone with an Assault Rifle in a train in other Countries: OMG he’s gonna shoot us!!! In Switzerland: Ha, that poor fool has to go to the army

I'm 46. Swiss. You have to understand that here in Switzerland, we do not have homeless people on the streets. Everybody is given the opportunity to make a living. We have mandatory Health insurance for everybody. Even unemployed people are included. The government takes care of it in case you can't afford it. This all ensures we do not have gangs /that many criminals. So no need to use arms to rob banks a.s.o.

"That's your problem." 🍻

"You don't bring your guns to school?" "NO!" "Why not?" "because we're not americans." Damn!

“Do you ever take your gun to school?” “No, we’re not American” That was kinda dark burn by that kid😂

How many accidents you've had? -Nein. Nine? -No, nein. Zero.

There is a HUGE difference between "respecting" your firearm and "worshiping" it.

A french joke: a french guy talks about weapon with a swiss guy. So, you can have a gun? Yes! And you can have munitions too? Yes, of course! So why don't you make a revolution? Because it's forbiden.

"Why should I listen to this old drunk?" "I ... was president for five years" LOL, laugh so hard.

Loved how the former president has a sense of humor

The true documented process for making authentic Swiss cheese.

How many Accidents? "NEIN!" I see German speakers living up to the meme everywhere.

This president came to our highschool and had a beer with me when I was 18, when he was still a president 😂👌🇨🇭🍻

"we have beer, la la la la, and pu pu pu pu." those are the most friendly, gun-loving dudes

That’s your problem... No... we are not Americans... The burn is so intense in the part 2....

2:43 The moment I fell in love with Switzerland.. There is something incredibly wholesome, beautiful and poetic about some random old dude drinking beer, and casually mentioning he used to be the president. No visible security. No big entourage.

Don't ever call a Sturmgewehr 90 an AR-15

I‘m swiss and swear to god not all of us speak English this bad !!!

I love how the president just said, that's your problem. 😂

Switzerland is the richest countries in the world in terms of net income per capita. Swiss people are well taken care of by the government. Happy people means safe society. The US government spent trillions of dollars making wars across the globe. I think it's time for the US government to invest in its citizen to make US a safer place.

Why do you have gun? Swiss: To have fun, to shoot at things. US: To defend myself, to shoot at people.

Switzerland has universal healthcare, college, pre k; paid vacation, medical and family leave, sick leave; unions, strict regulations on guns, and a trusted government. Of course they can make things work, they're smart.

This is what's meant by a "well-regulated militia".

3:43 "My Little brother could do better" OOOOOOOOOHHHH THAT BURN

I'm Swiss and it's way more that makes our country safe than our gun laws. It's a tiny country of prosperity. But also with strong social structures that holds the society together.

Switzerland is American dream done properly...

Actually a few years ago i went to the Eidgenössische Feldschiessen and i was shooting (for the first time in my life) just 2 meters away from the then current president of Switzerland, and there was no security around.

I remember that moment I took the train to army service, had to be in the uniform and take with me all the luggage and gun of course (no amo of course). Had to go to the restroom after some hours and had to take my gun with me (better not lose it, or military prison), I dont know who was more scared when I entered a nearly empty wagon with some indian tourists, me or them, they nearly jumped to the celing and I needed a few moments to realize why.

There are cows chiling around blinke while ppl are shooting. Even the animals know thay arent getting shot!

This is a comedy show. Why is news from here have more context and substance that the real news. Someone please please explain this to me.

When Switzerland is more American than America.

you don't take your gun to school? Swiss kid : we're not american ooooof

"Thats your problem" Actually, yes. It is

Aside the fact that Switzerland has a far better social welfare system to protect and help the weak, disabled and poor as well as no history involving slavery which lead to great inequality and injustice, the intention of owning guns was always completly different in these two countries. In America guns were historically always used to protect YOURSELF against criminals, natives, wild animals etc. So everyone has the mindset that anyone around is a potential threat. In Switzerland we own historically guns to protect OURSELVES against foreign powers. You trust your neighbours because the idea was never to use a gun against him but to fight side by side together against foreign powers.

That old man with the moustache was Samuel Schmid, a former federal councilor. So yes, Michael Kosta was hanging with a former member of Switzerland's executive branch. Also: the Swiss don't wear "Lederhosen"! That's just something the Bavarians and Austrians wear.

The “nein accident” joke is perfectly delivered.

"How many accidents have happened here?" "Nein."

This just proves that no matter how many guns you have, as long as there is strict gun control, everyone's safe!

I loved living in Switzerland. Expensive as all hell but it's so beautiful.

2:08 - 😐... That beer tray is gorgeous. Wow. What a perfect one-handed design.

Switzerland does not have an army. Switzerland IS the army

I need to study switzerlands economy,culture,political differences and norms. Its obvious that they are doing something right.

The main difference is the culture of following rules.

3:18 AR-15? This guy is an expert. I can tell.

one simple comparsion: A school friend has married an US citizen. They have 3 daughters, lived in the US for some years. Finally they came to switzerland. Why? Their daughters were in the same school for 2 years. In those 2 years they had 3 school-shooting drills and one false school schooting alert. Imagine your three daughters in that school, and a possible school-shooting distress call arrives. A whole army of first-responders in front of the school, SWAT teams cleaning the are, evacuation. They just had enough, it was too much. It always something different of you read this in newspapers or see on television. But to have a first person explanation about the dire hours they gone throught. It's not just "bang bang on the ghetto" is the f***** fear your children not coming back from a simple and common day in school.

It's not just about gun laws, thats only one part of it. The other part is: ppl have a good life to lose if they f* up. You can't have 40% of poor ppl with nothing to lose in a country and give them free arms access...thats just a deathwish. In a society where you don't have a wish to harm another because that one will give you a helping hand if you are down, thats a society where you don't have to fear a thing from anybody. But that doesn't fit the competitive "me against the world" attitude many deem normal.

All this because Switzerland has sensible gun laws. And they can take their service rifles home. But there are much more things to consider, not only gun laws. Education level in Switzerland is far higher than in the USA, where people in the bible belt teach bronze age superstition in school. Further, people in Switzerland are on average far wealthier than in the USA. All this combined leads to a society where people discuss openly different political issues, rather peacefully, I might say... Hopp Schwyyz

As a swiss this was extremely hilarious for me😂😂👏🏻

02:56 this makes me proud to be Swiss to have that cool former president :-)

"Vouts êtes vraiment très nul." 😂😂😂

Not just Switzerland, but also Iceland and the Czech Republic. Seems like the rest of the world isn't having the issues the US is.

3:20 AR-15's... are you kiddin' ? Swiss kids don't walk around with AR-15's!! WTF are You thinking about swiss Kids? They do it with original swiss made SIG 550's, dude! (Okay, the SIG 550 is kind of AR-15. About as much as the Veyron is kind of a VW.) And that guy on 2:30 is Mr. Samuel Schmid. He was one of seven federal councils from 2001 to 2008 and in 2005 he was in fact the swiss federal president.

2:57 Literary Switzerland in every conflict

It comes down to the simple rules handling guns, respect for the gun and awareness of it's possible consequences. Greetings from Switzerland

Can't we all just agree that Switzerland is better than America at almost everything?

The part that was most shocking for me is that the President of Switzerland is just walking around, drinking beers, and has absolutely no entourage protecting him, like a regular dude. That blew me away, literally. I can't believe I'm able to type, have been blown away and all.

1:25 its translated: "How many accidents have happened here?" "No"

I love how your like "whoa, wtf?" I grew up just like that, I can't imagine anything different....

as a swiss citizen this video was so fun to watch

@1:44 The rubber chicken killed me XD

United States has soooooo much to learn...its embarrassing.

Jeeze, why is everyone surprised when a gun meet up is perfectly safe? This isn't some unique thing only the Swiss have, this is every meet up pretty much everywhere.

And Switzerland once again showing how it‘s done 💪🏿

the american 'reporter' is really funny, especially wearing the vest. Great video!!!!!

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOST COUNTRIES AND SWITZERLAND: Situation: You are alone in the woods, it's not hunting-season and you hear shots from a gun nearby. Most countries: Call the police and be afraid that someone will kill you Switzerland: Just casually walk towards the sound and greet the marksman.

Lederhosen (end of the clip) ARE NOT SWISS! Please, don‘t mix us up with Bavaria.. 😜

If you actually looked as Swiss gun laws you would see that they are actually more lax than many US states such as California and New York For instance there are no restrictions on semi automatics. Also with about the same amount a paperwork required to get a gun permit in most states you can purchase a full auto rifle, a suppressor, and short barreled rifle or short barreled shotgun. All of which are heavily regulated and very expensive in the US, and outright banned in certain states.

3:32 Cows casually grazing on the shooting range

Being such a heavily armed country with so little violence, they've earned the right to throw some Swiss shade...

4:41 Even clouds are guns in Switzerland

... In Switzerland we use weapons to shoot, not to kill. A cordial greeting.

To say that Mikko wasn't impressed by his antics is an understatement at best.

"I was president for five years.." Dude, what are you talking about? You were Federal Council from 2001-2008. That`s obviously 15 years..

I notice how all the kids are handling their weapons properly, yet at the end you see this fool twirling around with 2 weapons, exercising no safety precautions. Treat every weapon as if it is loaded at all times, even those kids knew that. Classic American lmfao.

one big difference is that swiss people take care of each other and want the weakest to be well in a society, we are compassionate, even in a dispute ... we don't walk on red sign over the street because a child could see it, imitate and crash ... we do not park in parking spaces for invalide people, an invalid could come and need it ... in Switzerland there are just a lot less ruthless psychopaths .... we are generally not as loud as Americans (I lived next to an American school) and we're also not that extroverted, superficial, hostile to science, and religious....maybe we are very boring and traditional, but our kids can WALK to school without fear

I Think the quality of living in Switzerland is the reason they’re so safe.

Former President: "That's Your Problem" Wise man's one answer covered it all!

Chicken man is my new favorite man

3:33 are those real cows standing around the targets? :D

"That's your problem" 😂😂

“You guys got AR-15s here huh?” Literally none of them are carrying ARs.

What a great piece

"How many accidents do you have?" "Nein" "Nine?"

The Rules: "Always Pull Out" and "Call your mom".... Amazing!

Ohne scheiß, als er versucht hat das Feldschießen auszusprechen hab ich mich mal kurz bepisst XD

As said previously the problem in the US is education. Gun=freedom. In all other countries gun means violence. You have to start somewhere to change this culture and in the US you are nowhere near this.

If I'd have to guess the primary difference is that switzerland doesn't fetishize guns.

When the Swiss bring guns they just bring guns. When Americans bring guns they bring helmets, vests, carriers, knee and elbow pads, masks.... I feel like Americans wanna be badass soldiers, it's a scary roleplay.

Only in Switzerland you can see 13 year old kids with a fully automatic Assault Rifle on bicycles on their way to the shooting stand. Swiss-Greetings.. smile..

Kosta's remote skits never disappoint

I was born and grew up for a good chunk of my life in Switzerland, in other words I remember enough of how things were. Also I did and still do visit the country. Now I live in US and can say on the topic of guns how different views are. As a child growing up in Switzerland we were taught rules are there for a reason. Guns yes are dangerous but they are also for protection. Yes it's also for fun in certain games but like the former president said, it's about respect. Swiss acknowledge the potential harm that can be caused with this object and respect that. In contrast I find in the US I'm not quite sure if there is one way people are taught to view guns. Is it odd for me to say that I feel generally okay in Switzerland despite seeing the police or guards with their guns than in the US seeing the security where I feel slightly on edge/nervous at times. Maybe it has to do with the fact in Switzerland I see the gun but the guards are aware but relaxed (such as arms crossed but observant) vs in states where their hands are on the gun itself. There's a lot to be worked on with gun control. For some it has to be the acknowledgment that there is a problem. The next step doesn't have to be major but small changes are still a step. A country can't have the extremes of no law or too many laws as both would be either really dangerous or extreme resisting. I don't see guns being banned for the general public nor would I find it fair, after all if one wants a gun to be able to protect the,selves or for recreational use then they should be allowed. I do however belive if someone wants something that can cause harm they should be rules/laws and education on it. I could go on and have a long conversation on this but I'll cut it here as one thought leads to another.

Murica: "Y...yeah b...but... s..s..s..second amendment!." The World: "Natural Selection..."

You can see that there is mainly 1 type of gun, the stgw90/ sg550 (standard riffle of the swiss army), behind every of these is a 19week basic army training, where you learn to handle a gun properly. Every swiss man has to serve in the army, they knwo how to handle a gun safely.

I love the regulation screen "Always pull out" "Call your mom"

2:58 I love his answer.

i (swiss) started shooting crossbows when i was 10 (where one of the trainers only had 2 fingers left on his hand and told us not to NEVER hold the finger on the trigger when he puts the arrow on the crossbow, which i haven't forgotten until now lol) and sturmgewehr 90 when i was 15 and i remember that i always hated to disassemble, clean the weapon and put it back together (which was mandatory after the "lessons") but it taught me how to respect and care for the weapon. it somehow makes me feel safe that i know how it works but i really, really hope i will never have to use one.

3:32 I can't get over the fact that some farmer gives zero f's and puts his cows right around the targets.
