Wasn't that person who was responsible for that massacre a known mental patient?

Soldiers who have completed military service can hold on to the army's latest assault rifle from April 1

Friday's ruling means Swiss soldiers can, for the first time, take home the SIG 90 assault rifle.

Previously, they had only been allowed to keep the older SIG 57 rifle and regulation pistols.

They will have to pay up to SFr100 ($87) to have their rifle disabled, so that it cannot fire in bursts. In the past, the army's logistics division picked up the tab.
