That's a brilliant system. We also have mandatory conscription, but if someone attacks you, and you shoot, or even just punch him, you'll get fined or go to jail. Basically you have the choice of defending yourself, and get punished, or hope the attacker doesn't kill you. Everything is done to protect criminals.

The reason why Switzerland has a low crime rate is because everybody is neutral.

I'll never understand that, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.

You can argue the opposite way too. An unarmed society has less violent crime rates.

Rifle and ammo provided by the government. Maybe we should do that in Texas. :humm:

Switzerland DOES NOT have the lowest crime rate in the world. Granted, crime in Switzerland is low, but certainly not the 'lowest'.

Also, I caught a glaring inaccuracy in the description of the video.

Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.

The Police and other organisations DO actually record gun related crime statistics in Switzerland, for example, in 2002, 64 homicides were firearm related, which represents about 31.5% of all homicides (n=213).

Rifle and ammo provided by the government. Maybe we should do that in Texas.

I understand that in 2007 the Swiss government stopped the issue of personal ammunition to reservists, after training, was discontinued, citing 'safety concerns'.
