In Switzerland, everyone has an assault rifle, and they have the lowest crime rate in the world. By contrast, the US has serious crime problems in cities where guns are illegal.
The US Supreme Court proposed a simple solution this week. Have Congress pass the WASRcare bill, which will require that everyone purchase an assault rifle by the year 2014. If anyone isn’t armed by then, they will have to pay a tax penalty tax penalty tax
Great idea. But the real solution is to ban sodas and other sugary things in all cities.
NOT! My hotair comment:The liberal bansters will ban everything and anything that they decide they don’t like, and especially when they can say something effects public healthcare costs. This is a great satirical call for Bloomberg to go further, banning beer and more: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/hey-mayor-mike-ban-beer-article-1.1107314
One commenter, though, gave a lengthy defense of the soda ban, including (the false) “Coca cola has the world’s largest fleet of trucks…all shipping mass quantities of sugar to our doorsteps, to our children.” A great reply to this banster was:
I don’t understand that…. Don’t idiots know that a lot of those big soda’s you buy contain more ice than they do actual soda?
Ok, Brian, but all the ice would mean… less sugar. And colder. Yes, until it gets diluted, yuck. So drink it fast for that super sugar rush. I don’t know, personally, I try to avoid the stuff in any form. That’s the problem with those combo specials. I say “well, can you substitute a taco, or take 75 cents off if I don’t have a drink?” No. “But they’re going to ban soft drinks!”
I know one thing, if O promulgated a full ban on sodas across the nation, there would be outright revolt. So.. we need to make it clear to the public that that is exactly the type of thing he and his liberal cohorts / accomplices would love to do, if they only could. And cheesecake… that clearly would be on the ban list. So stock up.
Yeah, I’m waiting for the mandatory bedtimes. For adults. ‘Cuz too little sleep is bad for you also.
One difference is that in Switzerland, they don’t have the media and/or govt instilling a culture of fear.
Where else but in America do they scare the crap out of you that your neighbor might steal your stuff, or murder you? Unbelievable.
Places in the US where people have guns, there is little crime and little fear. The scary places are the ones which are controlled by minority gangs, and guns are illegal.
amen.
If we didn’t have guns…. Just imagine what creeps would do if they knew people didn’t have weapons. It would be open season on families. And yeah, I don’t have any numbers on hand to back me up, but it seems like common sense to me.
March 25th marked the 16th anniversary of Kennesaw, Georgia’s ordinance requiring heads of households (with certain exceptions) to keep at least one firearm in their homes.
The city’s population grew from around 5,000 in 1980 to 13,000 by 1996 (latest available estimate). Yet there have been only three murders: two with knives (1984 and 1987) and one with a firearm (1997). After the law went into effect in 1982, crime against persons plummeted 74 percent compared to 1981, and fell another 45 percent in 1983 compared to 1982.
And it has stayed impressively low. In addition to nearly non-existent homicide (murders have averaged a mere 0.19 per year), the annual number of armed robberies, residential burglaries, commercial burglaries, and rapes have averaged, respectively, 1.69, 31.63, 19.75, and 2.00 through 1998.

Can Americans Escape the Deception?
“Hot Air Day is upon us. On July 4 hot air will spew forth all over the country as dignitaries deliver homilies to our “freedom and democracy” and praise “our brave troops” who are protecting our freedom by “killing them over there before they come over here.”
Not a single one of these speeches will contain one word of truth. No speaker will lament the death of the US Constitution or urge his audience to action to restore the only document that protects their liberty. No speaker will acknowledge that in the 21st century the Bush/Obama Regime, with the complicity of the Department of Justice, federal courts, Congress, presstitute media, law schools, bar associations, and an insouciant public have murdered the Constitution in the name of the “war on terror.””

The Climate crisis and the Debt crisis are there for the same thing, to murder the US Constitution .
I am surprised that Switzerland is such a gun friendly place. Living where I do, I should probably get one. My prediction is that sooner or later someone will come up with a study saying that sugar is good for you. Believe it or not, I once knew a doctor who said that. I am diabetic and when I run into problems, it is because sugar is too low, not too high. I have passed out due to that, so I always keep a soda or candy bar handy.
The Swiss and Guns: Why Switzerland Has the Lowest Crime Rate in the World

I love the “Fight Crime SHOOT BACK” bumper sticker in this guys weapons locker!
Peace through strength.
Opportunists seek out weakness.
I don’t understand why more women are not gun rights advocates. If I were a sweet young thang who weighed 105 lbs soaking wet, I would want the great equalizer on my person. No really means no when it is backed by deadly force.
My NRA monthly always has great stories about citizens who saved themselves from dirtbags, because they were armed and prepared. Very often it is a woman getting the drop on men who would otherwise have overpowered her. The smartest women I know, all own guns.
They don’t want you to be able to protect yourself against the biggest crime syndicate in the land, your Government out of control.
I worked for a while as a programmer in law enforcement, and I take crime statistics with a grain of salt. In the US, UCR (Uniform Crime Reports) statistics are self-reported by agency, based upon police reports. Therefore the places with more cops will most likely show more crime, because there are more cops to report the crime. It also depends a bit on the person (or program) collecting the data, and how well the crime was classified (it is more subjective than one might think). Besides, being from reports (rather than convictions) it is really only alleged crime. I do not know how crime statistics are compiled in Switzerland, so it could be an apples/oranges comparison.
That being said, I still believe an armed populace is less likely to be victimized.
