  1. WOW! Pooch, Switzerland is a regular "Killing Field" with its lax gun laws. Maybe they should model themselves after the anti-gun Paradise known as Chicago.

  2. Hey Orlin how many people live in Switzerland? I bet you were one of the a-holes claiming Iraq wasn't dangerous for Soldiers and Marines because of Chicago.

  3. HUH?!!!!!!!!!!?
    Iraq was never dangerous to soldiers and Marines until they bombed the shit out of the country, invaded and occupied a country that had done us no harm.
    Gee, I wonder what would happen if the Chinese did that to the US. Do you think it might be dangerous for those poor Chinese soldiers?

  4. Switzerland has lax gun laws? That's the perspective of a control freak. Look at the Czech Republic for good gun laws in Europe.

    Clearly, we need hammer and club control laws more than gun control laws.
