obama on gun control

they are employed by the military, not keeping guns just for the sake of having them.

...BZZZZTTTT!! WRONG AGAIN!! THANKS FOR PLAYING!

From the above link.....

<<Switzerland keeps only a small standing army, and relies much more heavily on its militia system for national defense. This means that most able-bodied civilian men of military age keep weapons at home in case of a national emergency>>

..Not at all "employed" by the military. Nice try, though - read up and come back soon!

once agian your kind of wrong.. the reason males age 19-31 have weapons if because at that age they are required to be part of their federal service. it is required.. they have a very small active army. but its the duty of males ages 19-31 to come to duty if needed


the armed forces consist of a small nucleus of about 3,600 professional staff, half of whom are either instructors or staff officers, with the rest being conscripts or volunteers. All able-bodied Swiss males aged between 19 and 31 must serve, and although entry to recruit school may be delayed due to senior secondary school, it is no longer possible to postpone it for university studies. About one third is excluded for various reasons, and these either serve in Civil Protection or Civilian Service.

so really they are the national guard of switzerland... just like america, if you read the second admendent that is what the national guard is, a states militia.. they are just cooler and get to take their weapons home without having to do weekend drills haha
