The problem with compulsory military service in the US is that it makes military adventures too easy.
But you're ok with that, since that's part of the "Swiss model", you keep harping on
The Swiss military has never engaged in invading anything for any purpose.
Irrelvent. The point is the mandating of military service
I have nothing against people being trained to use guns safely if GUNS ARE REGISTERED in a NATIONAL DATABASE that is available to law enforcement.
WHY?? That in NO WAY prevents any one from getting shot, which "supposedly" is your big issue. But if we were to follow the Swiss model, per your parameters, everyone would be mandated to be trained in using a gun safely.
Registering does nothing in firearms training. Not to mention that the bad gun nut will still murder with his illegally aquired gun, but perhaps have had more training to kill more effeciently
The NRA opposes any sort of registration, because it derives its income from gun nuts who stockpile weapons, too many of whom are mentally unstable.
a) there is no connection with registering and some determination of mental instability
b) its opposed because it does nothing to address the supposed issue of gun violence, while providing the Federal government a list of all the LAW ABIDING gun owners and what they have. Nothing more
You also have yet to address the issue that if the Fed can't even handle a simple background check, what the hell is a massive tax payer funded database supposed to provide in the way of preventing gun deaths??
