The new anti-gun-control meme: The US should be more like Switzerland.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

23. Uhhhh...in the 18c. the government didn't control militias the way you suggest.

And just for the record -- USC 10 Section 311 states all able-bodied males 17-45 and all able-bodied females 17-45 who have completed basic military training are members of the unorganized militia.

So the US government recognizes -- and even creates -- a militia without the sort of regulation you suggest.

Do you drink wine because a good wine belongs to a good meal or do you drink wine because you want to get drunk?

Yes

What is the reason for the action? Do you do it because it is expected from you or do you do it because you have selfish reasons?

Self-defense is not selfish; it's a basic, essential human right and any scheme of government that interferes with that right is illegitimate.

The problem is not the gun. The problem is that people treat their gun as their problem-solver when they run into trouble, e.g. when they want money and the cashier has money.

Repeating the fallacy doesn't make it any less fallacious. Again, you're equating all gun use -- sporting, self-defense, collection, etc -- with criminal activity.

If you have a problem with people robbing stores deal with people who rob stores -- don't disarm the store owners; because that's just stupid.
