Switzerland is one of the most polite countries on the planet - and yes, everybody is armed. - by LAW.
Hear, Hear. With automatic weapons.
So what are you saying? Guns are for insuring politeness? Guns have a magical property of making people polite? The Swiss have nothing to do with being polite?
"Switzerland is one of the most polite countries on the planet - and yes, everybody is armed. - by LAW."
That's a push. Every household is required to have a rifle, and they do. It's an ancient law and meant to arm the entire country in case of invasion. Problem is, many people can't even find their guns, it's been so long since they had them out.
