Why Switzerland has the lowest gun crime of ALL the W. Democracies
Boys and Girls turn 18 and are offered military training. Issued a battle rifle (mine is H&K) and a side arm (Sig) and lots of ammo. Training complete, you take it all home with you. Ever wonder why the Nazi's invaded every other country around them but not Switzerland? Thought maybe it was because of the neutrality of Switzerland? "Wrong guess Hans". I know households who still have battle rifles from 1900 and handguns from earlier, all government issue. (People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.)

Agree with you on a lot of that. The Nazi invasion part though wasn’t about armed Swiss though. The government was aligned with Berlin, bought German military equipment, shot down allied aircraft, and even kept allied POW’s. Switzerland is one of my favorite countries. It’s also a small fraction of the size of the US, extremely xenophobic, and highly structured & regulated, so not easy to compare to other nations, the US in particular.

Switzerland is small compared to the US.
Switzerland is highly structured & regulated in a positive way that would be foreign to the millions of lazy and/or criminal that would never accept things like greater good and working towards mutually beneficial projects or programs. You started this thread stating that the Germans didn’t invade Switzerland because of the armed populace, but then acknowledge the close ties between the government. Xeno-hostile makes more sense. I like that. As far as Chicago or Detroit you’re mixing the highly regulated Swiss culture that the hodgepodge of Americans would never accept as a comment on gun control. Different thoughts there, but yes strict gun laws have shown to be creators of violence, and not the other way around. You tend to come off hyper defensive. I agree with you and we’re just missing each other’s finer points. Relax brother it’s all good. |

Biggest reason is the heterogeneous population.

I think you mean homogeneous population, don't you?

At Political Instability we have a chart that shows the effects of diversity. Every nation it applies to has more violent crime, social distrust and even higher divorce rates! Harvard psychologists documented this statistically and were so appalled at their findings they refused to publish them for years until their own grad students who worked on the study raised so much Hell, Harvard was forced to. A mass media version called Bowling Alone set the hair of the woke on fire.

“Don't discount that the Nazi's kept billions of $ in stolen wealth there.”
Interesting your use of the word, “there” instead of ‘here.’ Are you sure you’re actually ‘there?’

There is the past tense. Nazi's kept billions...there. 1939-1945
