Not that anyone really cares my thoughts.

Switzerland is in the to 30 of the world in firearm ownership (oh God not another internet dude invoking Europe!) but the bulk of those firearms are long barrel weapons. Rifles for military defense of the nation and shotguns for hunting are the dominant. People don't knock over 7-11's very often carrying a long barrel firearm.

Virtually everyone possessing a firearm has had military training.

How does that fit us?

The Second Amendment tells us it exists because of the need of a well regulated militia.

Do we at any time ask anyone wishing to own a firearm to demonstrate that they know how to aim, fire, clean, or safely carry a firearm? In Arkansas you cannot obtain a hunting license without completing a hunter safety education course. You can purchase a firearm with proper ID and take it home even if you don't know anything at all about the weapon you purchased.

How can we call what is happening now a well regulated militia when we don't keep track effectively of who owns a firearm and permit people to buy who would be ineligible if their background were properly reported?

Go to your doctor for seizures and there is a simple means (at least in most states) for the doctor to report to the DMV you are experiencing seizures. No similar mechanism exists for firearms if you tell your physician that the local TV news announcer is telling you to kill bankers.

Few years ago a state trooper was in a car wreck and had seizures as a result of the head injury. Surgery and medication and he was on track to getting his driver's license back after 10 months of being seizure free. He gets an infection fever of 105, is given IV meds and seizes. This is noticed when reviewing his application to restore his license. State DMV investigates and treating physician says he believes it wasn't caused by a brain issue but rather the fever and medication. State hires an independent neurologist to review the file, he agrees with the treating physician and license is restored.

I cite that to tell this case. Gentleman had two in-patient admissions for suicidal ideation. At all times through this, he held a firearm dealers permit.
