Most know how to use iron sights, but simply prefer not to
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

That's the price we pay for having an empire less freedom and way to many non-productive people.

If you were surrounded by the type of neighbors the Swiss have, you'd teach your kids to shoot too.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

We would be in much better shape as a nation if our favorite sports used bullets rather than balls.

No low information citizens over there.

"nobody" invades them, because 'everyone' has a vested interest in a civilized country with an immpecable reputation in banking remaning stable, thus hedging their bets if they lose. Had the Germans wanted to, they could have taken it in 1940 without batting an eye. And as far as personal freedom when it comes to gun ownership, we're still light years away. Love their watches though..

Access by vehicle is by bridges, all of which are ready for destruction at a moments notice by the Swiss. After that, any army entering Switzerland would be pinned down under constant gunfire. Could the Nazis at the height of their military power have eventually taken Switzerland? Sure. It would have cost them the loss of several hundred thousand of their best troops, however, something they couldn't afford to lose.

I would imagine the Swiss reply heavily on imports for their food ect...The Germans could have simply blockaded them for a few months and they would have folded pretty easy after that..

Operation Tannenbaum was the contingency. Sure it would have probably been a tough fight but no match for the Whermacht. Plus the Germans realized why bother when they were allowed to run trains full of war materiel through Switzerland and into Italy throughout the whole war. That and the fact their plate was pretty full fighting a war on two fronts after 1941. And I state it again, check out the Swiss version of private gun ownership.

No, it's you who have it completely wrong. It wasn't brave and true citizen-riflemen who protected Switzerland from the Germans; it was the International Bankers.
