Actually that 90% is not accurate.....the correct figure is 90% of the guns traced to the United States originated in the United States (i.e. were manufactured in the US)....BUT as a per centage of all the arms found in Mexico (such as AK47s, uzis, and fully automatic weapons, not to mention rocket launchers, etc.) the arms traced to the United States amount to about 20% of the total.

Either way, you're free to choose the system of laws you want.   We would prefer to keep ours, thank you very much).

My position is simple:

1) No government can keep all weapons out of the hands of the criminal element.

2) No government can 100% protect all of its citizens.

3) No government is 100% trustworthy to not abuse an unarmed citizenry.

4) No politican has ever lived who is more concerned about his fellow citizens then he is about himself.

An armed population is the only thing that offers protection against criminals in and out of government.

There is quite a difference between the American and Swiss situation. The Americans combine loads of weapons with a fascination of violence....

Willyboy, your attack on the Dutch is out of line and displays an ignorance of the history of both the Netherlands and of the United States of America.
   Not only do we in the United States owe a great debt to Dutch explorers of the New World, or at least to expeditions sponsored by the Dutch, but much of the historic American mercantile/capitalist system is pattern after the Dutch system of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century.   Further many of our political philosophies and principles can be found as underlying principles of the Dutch War of Independence from Spain.   In fact there is a very real possibility that Thomas Jefferson and his fellow framers of our Declaration of Independence drew heavily from the Dutch Act of Abjuration.
   The Netherlands also represented a safe haven and a model of religious tolerance that played a big role in the development of the  "American" concept of religous freedom.
    And that doesn't even take into account the contributions of citizens of the Netherlands in the fields of Art (remember Rembrandt?) and Science. 
    Nor should we forget the large numbers of American fliers of the Second World War who owe their lives and their freedom to members of the Dutch underground.
    You may choose to have your difference with the modern Dutch attitude, just as they are free to have their differences with ours, but please do not discount their historic contributions to our ideals and to our society.

BA
