Do you prefer the Switzerland bureaucracy than ours?

Also, not sure how that helped them with…

/Check notes on the Switzerland wars./

Afghanistan war.

Well more like nobody dares attack switzerland because it would be impossible. Everyone has a bunker and an assault rifle and they know how to use it.

They are also very friendly with everyone, try to stay neutral, and more important, hold the key to a lot of money.

But they did not achieve that just by giving people guns, they teach it in schools, hold shooting competitions, lots of bureaucracy, and you can be charged for improper use of your equipment. Their society is not as divided, and they also have good support for their citizens.

Looking around the world, the places that controlled gun violence well either banned or added more bureaucracy. But it appears that people prefer to go the Australian way.
