About Switzerland:

I never trust Wikipedia fully, but at least there's a source note for this:

"In October 2007, the Swiss Federal Council decided that the distribution of ammunition to soldiers shall stop and that all previously issued ammo shall be returned. By March 2011, more than 99% of the ammo has been received. Only special rapid deployment units and the military police still have ammunition stored at home today."

Original source, in German, here:

So the Swiss army/militia still stores its guns at home, but the Commie-Nazi-Liberal tyrant government has taken away everybody's ammo in peacetime.

Why would they do that?

Is the Swiss government preparing a coup...against itself?
