Going nowhere

When I was loading the pics I found one I haven't posted. I took this one some months ago, just because it's so...well Swiss. Stairs leading to nowhere? It's like I heard today about every new-built house needs to have a bomb-proof cellar. Why? Why the hell do they need bomb-proof cellars in the safest country in the world?
This is a country where weapons are given to every 18-year-old when they do military duty (for what one might ask?). Weapons are taken home, staying under the bed, or wherever one might store a deadly device. Yet in Switzerland there are very few shootings, compared to the US where everybody can apply for a weapon (a 5 min application and then you go home with a pistol).
But I digress, I just was gonna post the pic of the stairs.

yes, but apparently Switzerland has one of the highest rates of suicide by shooting in the world.

its also been suggested recently that new homes should have to have underground cellars here - but for bushfire rather than bombs.

I don't understand why they cannot leave the weapons in the army. Why must they take them home?
