If Switzerland mandates that its citizens form a civilian militia (with guns), and with little violence because of the mandate, why can't we rise to Switzerland's standard? Switzerland has a population of 7.5 million. We have more than 300 million. Sooner or later with the larger population sample there will be aberrants. I'm sorry for the victims of this latest fiasco, though. Rip and Cajun Tiger,
