I briefly heard on the news the other day that Switzerland is starting
to debate having their military reserve keep their weapons at home,
apparently due to a rise in suicides.

Could you take a look into it and let us know what's going on?

Sure.

Knee jerk mindless gun control advocates scared of other people being
armed, as usual.

That hardly sounds like the Swiss that I know. Afterall, don't forget
that this is the 'peace loving' and 'neutral' country that's quite
armed to the teeth

Hardly.

One rifle per man isn't a lot to brag about.

Do you think that it would be better to take two rifles per man ?


How many fighters and bombers do they have?

Tanks?

Google swiss military - what a lazy guy

Aircraft Carriers?

Maybe it would be helpful for you to have a look at the map of Europe.
Switzerland is landlocked country.

Nukes?

What for?

How about intermediate or long range missles?

What for?

(even Hitler didn't mess with them)

Out of convenience and collaboration.

Not out of the fear factor you imply.

Douggy, as usual your historical "knowledge" is amazing.
