Why No One Invades Switzerland

[Chris]

Blurb from youtube:


Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in the world,because the people are armed,basic military is mandatory for men,and after wards they are required to keep their weapon at home.A crook will think twice about breaking into houses knowing this,people who think the world should get rid rid of guns should think again.

Switzerland also has one of the highest standards of living in the world, and wealth is more equitably partitioned, so there are fewer desperados. Cause and effect is never a simple thing in human affairs.

So does the US. What Switzerland and all Europeans nations have is relative homogeneity which makes a more equitable distribution of wealth much easier and much likelier.

IOW, fewer criminals. Is that cause for gun laws against law abiding citizens?

People usually think twice in the small towns also. Many people have guns in their house and will use them.

Quite so.
