So you're just as speculative as the guy who claimed 1.000.000 plus gun defenses. It *is* more tightly controlled, there's no doubt. But there's also no doubt that there Switzerland allows private citizens to carry concealed weapons on the street. It's impossible to compare a small homogeneous and upper middle class society like Switzerland with a country like the US as the pro-gun people like to do. **Then compare it to: Australia Germany The Netherlands The UK France Sweden Etc Feel free to. YOu missed my point, in that it's illogical to try to use the Swiss in an anti-gun control argument. Besides, about the only country in the above list that would really compare to the Swiss is Sweden. ALL have MUCH tougher gun control laws than the US. None allow citizens to carry guns concealed in the same way as those jurisdictions of the US where such things are allowed. ALL enjoy a vastly lower homicide rate via gunshot. Coincidence? You're preaching to the choir. I guess because it's me, you feel like you've got to take a contrary stance shrug.

You don't think that the citizenry of Switzerland is a well-regulated militia? Odd. In any case, don't you imagine that the US Founding Fathers may well have framed the 2nd Amendment somewhat differently, had they known about the situation which the US finds itself in today? Personally, I think I know what they meant when they started the sentence "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State". I think that the idea of gun ownership is wrapped up in the idea of a militia. They said nothing about hunting (which at the time was very important to the survival of many citizens), nor did they say anything about *any* sporting use of weapons. Consider, when the 2nd Amendment was framed: * America was ruled by a vicious, high taxing foreign power. * Dangerous animals roamed free. * Dangerous native roamed free. * Dangerous slaves had to be contained. * Food had to be shot and preservation methods were primitive. * Reloading times for typical firearms was in the order of MINUTES, not milliseconds. as the the sole reason for not restricting gun ownership.

So you're just as speculative as the guy who claimed 1.000.000 plus gun defenses. No, he's MUCH more - he's pulling nonsense out of his ass, I am taking about facts. For instance - http://www.guncite.com/tpgswiss.html "Purchase of handguns is licensed on a "must issue" basis at the cantonal (state) level, with "firearms purchase certificates" issued to all adult residents without criminal records or history of mental illness." {'Must issue' means ' they can not turn you down, except in very limited situations and for very specific reasons, like if you're a nutter. We have exactly the same thing here in Wake County. } "There are no restrictions on the carrying of long guns, and only fifteen of the twenty-six cantons require carry permits for handguns (which usually require that "necessity" for carrying the handgun be demonstrated). " http://www.guncite.com/swiss_gun_law.html http://www.guncite.com/swissgun.html In any case, don't you imagine that the US Founding Fathers may well have framed the 2nd Amendment somewhat differently, had they known about the situation which the US finds itself in today? Yes - they would have left out the poorly phrased part about the militia, which confuses some people. Personally, I think I know what they meant when they started the sentence "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State". I think that the idea of gun ownership is wrapped up in the idea of a militia. They said nothing about hunting (which at the time was very important to the survival of many citizens), nor did they say anything about *any* sporting use of weapons. Nor did they mention personal self-defense. However, it buggers belief to suggest that they intended to leave the right to hunt for food ( as you say, a basic survival issue at the time ), and to defend ones self, as 'non-rights' that the government could take away. In your reading of the 2nd as 'saying that states can have militias', you fly in the face of every other part of the C, and most especially the BOR. The BOR is about the rights of THE PEOPLE, not THE STATE. And yet, you choose to say that the 2nd Amendment, and ONLY the 2nd one, gives a right to the STATE. Nonsense. A1 - "right of the people peaceably to assemble" - are you saying that means that states can get together ? A4 - "The right of the people to be secure in their persons," - you claim the words 'the people' refer to the state ? A9 - "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." - do you claim this reserves unenumerated rights to the STATES ? Or the PEOPLE ( individuals ) ? A10 - "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. " - wow, it seems they were fully capable of specifying 'the states' when they wanted, huh ? Consider, when the 2nd Amendment was framed: * America was ruled by a vicious, high taxing foreign power. * Dangerous animals roamed free. * Dangerous native roamed free. * Dangerous slaves had to be contained. * Food had to be shot and preservation methods were primitive. * Reloading times for typical firearms was in the order of MINUTES, not milliseconds. as the the sole reason for not restricting gun ownership.

In fact, the Swiss, like all the other Western, devloped nations have very tough, sane and homogenous gun control laws. By an amazing coincidence, the US also has the highest (by a very considerable margin) homicide rate, via the use of firearms, of any Western, developed nation. It's not the gun you ass, it's the criminal mind that puts thought into action **Yadda, yadda, yadda. You suck up that **** shovelled to you by the NRA. It's working real well for you. NOT! -- The stats are from the FBI and they have been the same regardless of administrations. ***WTF are on about? The NRA does not run the government, they just keep reminding folks of the reason the 2nd amendment was included and how many other rights have been chipped away. **No. The NRA acts in the political system to ensure that the gun manufacturers have their needs served (to sell as many guns as they can), by whatever means they find necessary. The NRA bullies and cajoles to ensure that occurs. The NRA has employed primitive, but effective methods to brainwash large segments of the US population to believe that the NRA and the Second Amendment are necessary to their well-being. The NRA is pure evil. They have zero interest in the long term well-being of the US. They are acting for purely commercial reasons. This was not always the case. The NRA was once a noble and decent organisation, which cared for the welfare of the working man. Sometime in the 1960s, their purpose became perverted and twisted.

Despite whatever efforts you think the NRA makes, the number of guns in circulation has remained fairly constant for decades, no matter the crime rate. The NRA want anyone who owns a gun to properly trained in the safe usage of these weapons, and for good reason. Those who have such training are not going to be a problem. Their purpose is the same as it ever was, the change you preceive is due to the fact that the 60's was the time when the anti- gun lobby started trying to gu the 2nd Ammendment.
