True.
You started this thread stating that the Germans didn’t invade Switzerland because of the armed populace, but then acknowledge the close ties between the government.
Both are true. The Swiss learned "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" long ago.
Xeno-hostile makes more sense. I like that.
As far as Chicago or Detroit you’re mixing the highly regulated Swiss culture that the hodgepodge of Americans would never accept as a comment on gun control. Different thoughts there, but yes strict gun laws have shown to be creators of violence, and not the other way around.
Not so different thoughts. I was not suggesting US cities could benefit from Swiss gun attitudes. Morons can't be trusted with guns, drugs or charity. You stated why.
You tend to come off hyper defensive. I agree with you and we’re just missing each other’s finer points. Relax brother it’s all good.

Hyper! Me? (Irony ) Consider Xeno-hostile, among other replacement of phobic with hostile. Hyper defensive is the personality trait of all those who call a spade a spade and do not say "not that there's anything wrong with that" when the wrong is self evident. You might say they are convinced that "A thing is what it is and not something else". The good news is we don't miss each others points. Nor do we disagree. The hyper-defensive are just loath to be misunderstood. Better to express oneself forcefully than THAT!
Yes its obvious to me we agree on more than enough to throw around loaded words like brother. "Happy is the man who knows the reasons for things".
