    Yeah, they’re literally just normal dudes doing their mandatory service that everyone hates. I think one of the benefits of mandatory service is that the police state isn’t exclusively made up of the most violent and conservative people in the country.

      Apparently Switzerland has higher gun ownership rates than America, but in order to own one you have to have completed the mandatory military service. It literally decreases mass shootings yet giving you the freedom to own guns.
