Back away from the word “logic” as you are not rated for it. Especially if you attempt to use it by putting words in an other’s mouth.
I was talking about a single very important item; I was not babbling.
Just like our Second Amendment doesn’t mention ponchos neither does their law. The Swiss do not have a right to keep and bare arms but you are ready to take away the closest thing they have to it all over a few bucks that were theirs to start with. Finally, I don’t know about the Swiss but I doubt the average U.S. ex-GI can afford the $8000.00 the Army’s standard battle rifle would cost them after market not to mention the ridiculous paperwork.
You might want to rethink your position on this or remove the prefix “ex” from your pseudonym.
If you’re all for giving away taxpayer money, it does not matter what the money is being given away for. You can’t pick and choose: it’s not okay to give away money in the form of firearms to former military just because of the conservative pro-2nd amendment position, any more than it’s okay to give away money in the form of food stamps and welfare to someone just because she keeps spitting out baby after baby (without a dependable father in sight).
If a former Swiss GI has his/her heart set on getting a top of the line 8000 Euro military style rifle like the one they had in the service, they’ll save their money and make it happen.
I don’t know what the Swiss law is on keeping and bearing (not baring) arms. But that’s not really the issue. The issue is the use of taxpayer money to provide things people should be providing for themselves.
