Switzerland has 4 national languages but most are well versed in English as well no matter the other dialect depending upon the area they commonly use.

The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself if you don't have the tools to do that, then you're going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away.

The Swiss have the ability to defend themselves, maybe that's why they weren't afraid of banning minarets. Usually muzzies won't attack armed people directly. .

“Switzerland has 4 national languages but most are well versed in English as well no matter the other dialect depending upon the area they commonly use.”

So you think their use of English is what helps them? (Because I say they have remained free for a long time, but have only widely spoken English for a short time, historically speaking)

Before they speak good English, most would speak one of the other of their three main languages.

The reason isn’t gun ownership. The reason is that Switzerland does not allow uncontrolled immigration into their country.

“The reason is that Switzerland does not allow uncontrolled immigration into their country.”

Yes they do. In fact, up until recently, it’s basically their official national policy to allow uncontrolled migration into their country. Foreign residents and temporary workers make up about a quarter of their population.

Well.......... there are now enough muzzies infesting the land of William Tell that the majority just voted to ban minarets, didn’t they?

Actually the Swiss may be the first in Europe to defy pro-muzzie P.C. and survive afterward. The harrumphing and tut-tutting of the EC and the threats of the Muslim Brotherhood really won’t bother them. IMHO, the Swiss gun culture confers an attitude of defiance against the `waves of the future’ upon its citzens.

Pray to G-d that the American gun culture does the same for us.

The headline is misleading. It does not have the lowest crime rate in the world.

English is the speech of a free people. Even those who have tasted freedom, but do not, yet possess.

Yes, the English language helps them, and all.

As for spoken languages, post #4 covers that well.

But beyond, there do have some other unifying language:
1. the language of commerce
2. the language of national integrity
3. the language of self defense

They like their country and are ready to defend it.

That is actually Switzerland. I love their gun control laws. They assign everyone a gun and teach you how to control your aim. Every citizen is by default, a member of their national militia and trained thusly.
