Swiss city councilor apologizes for firing gun at a Mary and Jesus poster

A city councilor in Switzerland has apologized and reportedly sought police protection against threats after she fired a sport pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century Madonna and child painting and posted images of their bullet-ridden faces on social media.

Green-Liberal party official Sanija Ameti, 32, put the images on Instagram over the weekend before quickly pulling them down. She later said she had been practicing shots from about 10 meters (33 feet) and found the poster as “big enough” for a suitable target.

“I apologize to the people who were hurt by my post. I deleted it immediately when I realized its religious content. I didn’t think about it,” Ameti wrote on X. “I’m incredibly sorry.”

I’m agnostic, and even I know this was unbelievably stupid. There’s no way she didn’t know what she was doing.

I’m a Christian and I don’t care. She shot up a poster she owned?? Nobody should gaf.

I wasn’t clear. Shooting up her own property is fine. Posting pics for the world to see is the stupid part. Now she needs police protection.

Then don’t look at it.

Problem solved.

For you and I, not looking at it is the sensible solution. Unfortunately, not everyone is sensible, which is where the police protection bit comes in.

So you victim blame her?

The stupid part is religious extremists.

If she was a victim of pedophile priests, then I feel she is justified. If not, religious institutions can fuck themselves anyway, so I still feel she is justified. Here, how’s this: I asked her to do it, so everyone needs to be mad at me. Hey God, I don’t know why you would even care, but on behalf of children with cancer or childhood dementia, fuck you. Fuck you god. I know it’s a poster of Mary and baby jesus, and I don’t care. God can still go fuck itself.

And don’t even get me started on how the first moral crime christianity ever performed was murdering Jesus and then creating a religion in his name.

Have I said god can go fuck itself?

Woaahhhhh ,

Very edgy congratulations

“Why? Because God hates me, that’s why. He has made my life miserable. So I called him a cocksucking asshole. Then I get grounded.”

The weirdest thing to me about this is that people in Switzerland have guns at all.

Why is that so weird? Switzerland has some of the most liberal gun laws in Europe.

Woaahhhhh ,

Gun laws? You are so retarded man

What’s funny is that U.S. conservatives often point to Switzerland as a big success when it comes to guns, ignoring things like the socialized mental health care that Switzerland also has. Along with a permitting system, something else they would be against.

Sewer_King ,

If I recall correctly, Switzerland has a lot of gun control laws that dictate who can own a firearm, when and where the firearm can be used, and ownership requires strict training and licensing that often comes from the compulsory military service that the country requires. All of that would be great to have here in the US since the little tidbit about guns in our rule book mentions a well-regulated militia.

I don’t think it’s as strict as you’re saying. I’ve heard stories from people who come from other countries and are able to do things like get machine gun permits in Switzerland. But the point is they get a permit to do it. Meaning that the authorities know they have the machine gun and can keep an eye on them if they think there’s a reason to.

So just like in the US, then?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No?

Cort ,

Yes? Atf form #4 required for machine gun permit. You can’t buy a new machine gun but you can buy one that was made before the NFA was passed.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You do know there are guns other than machine guns in Switzerland, yes? You need permits for them too.

Cort ,

I do know there were other guns in Switzerland, but you were the one who mentioned machine guns being literally permitted in reference to the laws in Switzerland being less strict than some would assume; to which the other commenter replied: that’s the same as America (where you need to get a permit to own a machine gun).

SoJB ,

Swiss labor is also some of the most expensive in all of Europe. They’ve done well for themselves with all that Nazi gold.
