I stumbled upon the video below & thought you'd like to see it. It's about firearms policy in Switzerland.
After the video, I reproduced the video description by crutley2.
When thinking about the mass extermination camps of a holocaust think..
The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself &, if you dont have the tools to do that, then youre going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away.
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.
This is in a very large part due to Switzerland's unique system of national defence, developed over the centuries.
Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives.
Can you say, "Appleseed?" I've never been to one, but I can see where I SHOULD.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
I only have one problem with the swiss's system... and that is that the weapons are all government issued.
ReplyDeleteI like the militia idea etc, but the ideal would be that the weapons are privately owned.
I think I have a new favorite European country.
