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.

Logic is clearly NOT your friend.

I don’t show chickens card tricks for the same reason.

The DEM part of your name is accurate in that knowing the difference between an armed militia and welfare is unclear to you.

Pity.
