The Germans also never invaded the Vatican. Two reasons:
A. Didn't want to stir up the Catholics, and . . .
B. Swiss guards (they are more than just guys with halberds wearing striped pants.)
It sounds as if Switzerland is on the verge of falling from their distinction as one of the last bastions against Euro-pu$$ification.
Next thing you know, they'll be asking the French for military support.
I went to the Swiss News page and found this head line amongst the gun control debate articles.
“US Army struggles to lower soldier suicides
Suicides by members of the United States Army are at their highest level in 20 years and most soldiers wanting to end their lives reach for a gun.”
............................. OK, Liberals, go for it, stop the suicides in the armed forces, take away their guns. Those damn guns don’t care who they kill. Turn a gun loose and what happens the guns ends up killing someone all by itself. I’m too old to move to Switzerland, I’d have to learn French too if I did. German and Italian isn’t enough. Who the hell wants to speak French? Not me. Agrrrrrrrr :(
If Switzerland votes to overturn their ancient practice of making their citizenry the militia, they are *done* as a country. Without that internal security, any competent army could take Switzerland in a month or less.
Not only that, but taking them away will also give "free rein" to criminals.
From the German-language site: "If only one life per year is saved through it [the initiative], it is already worth it in my eyes."
Typically confused thinking from a leftist who assumes without a glimmer of understanding or evidence that lives will be saved, but instead they work on raw emotion only - never stopping to contemplate just how many lives will get lost due to implementing such a change in the law. They seem incapable of realizing that disarming law-abiding citizens will inevitably result in the deaths of innocents.
“...the argument that restricting access to guns in the home will reduce suicide and domestic killings.”
Yes, of course, there were never suicides or domestic violence until guns came along. Idiots! Guess what: gun-less Japan (well, except for the criminals-doh!) Has far more suicides per 100,000 population than the US with its 250-300 million guns.
Swiss readers, NEVER give up your guns, because you will not only never get them back, but you’ll be oppressed more and more each year. Your kids and grandkids will curse you for failing to fight for your birthright and theirs.
Molon Labe! should be your motto.
Switzerland is one of the most beautiful and idyllic nations on Earth; too bad the International Idiots’ Conspiracy has arrived.
One must, alas, suppose no place is safe from the worldwide gangs of morons.
Napoleon conquered Switzerland without firing a shot. He then reformed it into the Helvetic Confederation and then joined it into France.
