Guns

Automatic Weapons - people should be allowed to have, but not allowed to carry in public. Switzerland gives them out to people, plus 72 rounds, which must be kept sealed up except in military emergencies. Good system.

"Gives them out" gives the wrong impression... "Forcing people to have them because the Swiss Government is too Goddamned miserly to bother with a proper Army" would be more accurate.

The system seems to work pretty damn well - when is the last time someone invaded them?

Napoleon IIRC... but the main reason for that is all those banks. Most agressive world leaders like to have Swiss bank accounts etc. etc.

"Neutrality"=Bribery. Works well but is extremely immoral.

And, I ask you, why did Hitler, a conquering madman, not attack the Swiss? It's actually true they had plans for it - but they knew they couldn't do it until after conquering the rest of Europe, as the country would provide a lot of trouble.
