‘The federal state of Switzerland<\/place><\/country-region>
\nis divided into Swiss cantons, or member states. In the 1800s and early 1900s,
\nthese cantons held Shooting Festivals, or ‘free shoots’ tournaments.
\nOriginally, these festivals were fundraisers to aid the widows and orphans of
\nthe soldiers who had fallen in defense of their country. Shooting halls were
\nerected and prizes were awarded to the sharp shooters. Although the purpose has
\nchanged, the shooting contests continue to this day, now regulated by the
\nfederal government. The Swiss are avid supporters of the right to carry arms.
\nBecause they do not have an army, they depend on the citizenry for national
\ndefense. Recreational shooting is popular, in fact so much so, that the annual
\nFeldschiessen weekend, the largest rifle shooting competition in the world,
\nsees 200,000 in attendance every year. While a large percentage of households
\ncontain guns, the murder rate in Switzerland<\/place><\/country-region>
\nis one of the lowest in the world.’<\/p>\n
