It’s called a SIG-Sauer assault rifle in every home.

Too bad it costs $1M for citizenship, or at least used too.

It's probably more than that now, with the value of the dollar and all.

It’s amazing the paradise you can have without section 8 housing and it’s tenants.

German General to Swiss General sometime during WWII:

"What will you do if I send a million men marching across your border?"

Swiss General: "We will all fire twice and then go home."

For a really interesting read pick up the book "Total Resistance" by Major H. Van Dach.

...and I would venture an economy that keeps most of its people working.

[I Buried My Guns]

I blame the low number of Spinner Rims for their sky-high crime rate.

What? No spinners? And no crime?

I am in a quandary here. I cannot compute this departure from all that I have known to be true.

Switzerland also has a relatively homogeneous population with attitudes very similar to 1950’s America.

[Will88]

Common heritage, shared values. Homogeneity is their strength, unless they allow uncontrolled immigration to bring in too many who do not share their values.

There was a recent news item proclaming NORWAY as the best place in the world to live (the liberal media wanted to tout their socialized medicine...Now Switzerland is the safest place in the world.

There is something these reports ALWAYS ignore:

These countries spend SO MUCH on welfare, that they have little left for national defense...If Russia (or anyone) decides they WANT these countries, they can just chew them up....you CANNOT have massive welfare AND have a strong defense.

homogeneous

What, no diversity?

Or are we talking homophobia?

[smokingfrog]

Only 24 rounds? I guess they really are good shots.

I have been to Zurich a few times. It reminded me of 1970’s New York upper west side.

[Eagle Eye]

That probably has more to do with a low crime rate than an assult rifle in every closet.

Their culture has more respect for itself and others than most other cultures do.

[DarthVader]

Because everyone in Switzerland has a assault rifle required by law.

[Little Ray]

I'd like the see the stats on homeowners foiling robberies with their battle rifles.
More likely, it has to do with a relatively homogeneous society; Japan, with almost no private firearms, does pretty well in terms of crime for the same reason. If they go multi-culti, all of this will come to an end - so I hope they never do... I hope they have the guts to flaunt the EU commissars.

[Moe Tzadik]

The crime rate has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with the people - their culture and values.

As defined earlier - No Spinner Rims.

I rambled around Switzerland in 96 and stayed with a number of people I met along the way. It’s not a utopia. They have problems with drugs just like the rest of Europe. Relative to the rest of Europe its a cleaner place and probably more affluent. The scenery if you like mountains is wonderful. Like a lot of western Europe the prices for things are sky high. My general rule was about double the cost of things here in North America.

You are so right. It's sad though.

[Molon Labbie]

Switzerland hast no Krips and Bluts. Or MS Dreizehn.
