Countries that do this, not only have an extremely low incidence of Crime, but their Citizens get training in The Military and become far more employable. They also receive benefits like tuition assistance etc. which helps them further their education.

Rather than retreat from the issue of a lone lefty loon here and there who like to shoot unarmed kids, or concert goers, or Congressmen at a softball game, we need to confront the issue with proven solutions.

For those that want to know and cannot do the math using the figures cited below, gun homicides in The US Per Capita are only 0.00005%.

The Swiss Difference: A Gun Culture That Works | TIME.com


Switzerland trails behind only the U.S, Yemen and Serbia in the number of guns per capita; between 2.3 million and 4.5 million military and private firearms are estimated to be in circulation in a country of only 8 million people. Yet, despite the prevalence of guns, the violent-crime rate is low: government figures show about 0.5 gun homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010. By comparison, the U.S rate in the same year was about 5 firearm killings per 100,000 people, according to a 2011 U.N. report.

Unlike some other heavily armed nations, Switzerland’s gun ownership is deeply rooted in a sense of patriotic duty and national identity. Weapons are kept at home because of the long-held belief that enemies could invade tiny Switzerland quickly, so every soldier had to be able to fight his way to his regiment’s assembly point. (Switzerland was at risk of being invaded by Germany during World War II but was spared, historians say, because every Swiss man was armed and trained to shoot.)

There is an easier, pro-freedom alternative.

Make high school gun safety and use training courses mandatory classes for graduation.

Nobody has to give up their freedom (like compulsory service) and everybody learns and becomes familiar with firearms.
 
I believe we need to follow Switzerland's model, and rather than listen to snowflake radicals and blame "guns" for violence, we need to make citizens more aware of guns, instill gun safety and training, and have National Carry and other things The Swiss do.

More from the article:

One of the reasons the crime rate in Switzerland is low despite the prevalence of weapons — and also why the Swiss mentality can’t be transposed to the current American reality — is the culture of responsibility and safety that is anchored in society and passed from generation to generation. Kids as young as 12 belong to gun groups in their local communities, where they learn sharpshooting. The Swiss Shooting Sports Association runs about 3,000 clubs and has 150,000 members, including a youth section. Many members keep their guns and ammunition at home, while others choose to leave them at the club. And yet, despite such easy access to pistols and rifles, “no members have ever used their guns for criminal purposes,” says Max Flueckiger, the association’s spokesperson.

“Social conditions are fundamental in deterring crime,” says Peter Squires, professor of criminology and public policy at the University of Brighton in Great Britain, who has studied gun violence in different countries and concluded that a “culture of support” rather than focus on individualism, can deter mass killings.

“If people have a responsible, disciplined and organized introduction into an activity like shooting, there will be less risk of gun violence,” he tells TIME.

That sense of social and civic responsibility is one of the reasons the Swiss have never allowed their guns to come under fire.

That just makes too much sense.
 
You can only own three guns in Switzerland.

Nor does Switzerland mandate gun ownership. Only those who are currently serving under mandatory military service are required to own a gun, but their ammunition for those guns is not allowed to be stored in their homes and must be stored at a government facility.

Good thoughts. See my snip below your comments.
 
You’ve been on IGNORE for a long time, mostly because you aren’t very bright.

If The Government can mandate you carry Health Insurance and wear a seatbelt they can mandate military service, firearms training and or firearms ownership.

I think you missed his point.

Compulsory gun ownership is not freedom. It's statism.

I don't think this is any better than forcing people to buy health insurance. But education would good. Mandatory gun safety and marksmanship classes in high school could go a long way.
 
This is for Left Tards, and maybe some Righties too who don't know their ass from a hole in a ground.
Which one of these projectiles is used in an AR 15?
