Wow.
Pro memoria: Like every male Swiss I have my automatic gun with the ammo at home (I know, it's hard to believe, but true). We have a militia army here - every one (especially males) have to go to the army.
I know, we are a few hundred years back here...
Just: Wow...

I don't think the Swiss are behind. I think if every male and female in the U.S. went through boot camp and a years active duty this would be a much better country. (I was never in the service)
