Hmmm, seems we're straying into politics again. Oh, well...

Just call it an anti-gun state.

Is Switzerland really "liberal as hell"? I've never been, but I have friends who have. Most of them tell me that the German-speaking Swiss, who are the majority, tend to be fairly conservative, traditional Catholic and Lutheran types. I might be wrong, but I imagine they're the rural types who would be most likely to take militia service seriously and enjoy playing with guns. The French-speaking Swiss are apparently much more liberal, though.
I'm also not sure I'd say the Swiss have the "best gun laws on the planet". It's cool that they let militiamen keep their service rifles at home, but I'm pretty sure that in most other respects, most American gun owners would rather not have Swiss-style gun control laws.
