The Swiss comparison is a little silly in my mind, since they issue these guns to reservists who at least gone through extended time in actual infantry training.

You would have a point if in the States you wanted to buy a gun you would have to join the armed forces, the national guard or the navy (I think Undercover would appreciate that).

When we talk about people getting fire arm training right now, there is a vast difference between teaching people how to aim and pull the trigger and clean their gun and how to operate a safety compared to someone that goes through an infantry training school who learns how to do the above, but also learns how to deal with firing a weapon in a chaotic and panic filled situation while keeping their head and learns target identification and other key things.

If you want to teach someone true gun safety and skill for use in self defense. Take a target and put it 15 yards down field and then take your wife and kids and a random person and put then around the target. then turn off the lights and chuck fireworks at the trainee all while having people running around him screaming. then give him two seconds to make a decision and fire.

If he doesn't kill a family member or random stranger, actually hits the target and doesn't pee his pants and passes an iron clad background check. And then agrees to pay $2000.00 a year minimum for fire arms insurance that goes up 10x if he ever either shoots and kills or injuries a person or his gun shows up in the hands of a criminal. Then issue away.

But saying that the Swiss just issue assault rifles to people is kind of misleading.

On another thought, I get that the 2nd ammendmant gives every one the right to bear arms, but nowhere in there is there a suggested retail price. If you want to get rid of the gun issue as a government then apply a $500,000 first time owner registration fee on gun purchase.
