    It is one of the only nations in the world - and the only one in Europe - that provides the constitutional right to bear arms.

        Switzerland also has heavily regulated ammunition. You can’t just go to the store and buy some bullets, like in Czechia

          Like Chris Rocks stand up. Charge more for the bullets and people will think more about killing. paraphrase

            Mandatory conscription is probably my most “out there” political belief. I think the benefits would be vast! I don’t think it would prevent mass shootings in America, though.

              Conscription doesn’t mean war. It means being prepared. And yes maybe we could be more prepared to deal with this stupidity and remove the gun culture if it wasn’t special anymore.

                I think one of the benefits would be less war since every citizen would be personally affected by it. Also all the public works and infrastructure. And healthcare. It could be great! Maybe it would help with all the “lonely men” culture that we hear so much about, and likely plays into some of the gun culture. I guess we’ll never know since that won’t happen here, though.
