By the way, Radar....

You keep holding up Switzerland as an example of neutrality, and have cited their "military preparedness", but in your articles you mention the US armed forces are to be 100% voluntary.

Switzerland has a mandatory service requirement. This means that all males, age 20 and up have formal training using weapons, etc.

I have much less problems with when talking about "everybody gets all the guns they want, on demand," if EVERY able bodied male were formally trained in it's use.

And these articles of yours are going to create havoc. I don't see any changes to the justice system, changes that would have to be implented when Billy Joe Jim Bob goes on a rampage and mows down the local elementary schoolyard that I'm now paying for my kid to go to.
