Good article on a country deciding that their citizens SHOULD be armed in order to have a secure nation.

[Bookshelf]

Possible in homogeneous society with shared aims.

Language warning. Tongue in cheek summary of the history of one of the world’s best snipers, who arguably has the most kills. On Soviet Russians.

The point being, Finland has some nice history here with Russia.

[Sirius Lee]

Hell yes. Any nation interested in self survival should have an armed citizenry. And a healthy appreciation for Christianity.

Does this mean they don’t allow illegal invaders into their territory?

This is a shocking concept for Western Europe.

[rktman]

Gee, if some folks simply obeyed the restrictions on prohibiting citizens to be armed wherever they chose..........

“This is because of our defense model, which benefits from people having and developing their shooting skills on their own.”

This is suppose to be our model also ...

We need shooting sports back in every school in the country.
The left is hoping for a generation of kids who fear guns.
We can't let them have the youth ... or they will get the guns.
If you really want to preserve gun rights ... take a kid hunting or to the range .... or just plinking out back
Teach them, show them, ..... it's the bottom line.

As the Founders knew, the body of the people capable of bearing arms (otherwise known as the unorganized militia) is necessary to the security of a free state as well.

The social import of the first clause of the 2A is widely underappreciated.

Sisu!

Good article, but it’s most likely the Finns will have to use their guns against Europe’s ‘new arrivals’, as the Russians have more land and resources than they’ll ever need (and even more now, thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine), so the LAST THING they want is to have to rule over a deadbeat bunch of Globohomo.

The Finns have a long history of defense needs and apparently they haven’t forgotten them. Good for Finland!
(in their own way, the Swiss have a similar positive attitude about being prepared to defend their country if needed)

I am of the opinion that JROTC programs should be teaching marksmanship via airgun competitions.

The Finns are not Scandinavian, ie Swedes, Danes and Norwegians, and do not consider themselves to be. They’re not ethnically the same and do not speak a Scandinavian language. Remember the olympic sport of the biathlon — skiing and shooting, was created to memorialize the Finns’ fight against the Russians.
