All it takes takes is for Russia or China is to launch just ONE single EMP bomb and most of Switzerland will be back to the 1800s with modern day populations to feed.

Heck even a major solar flare will wipe out most of the grid since the grid relies on circuit boards which will be shot.

You do realize that Switzerland does not have a standing army, instead opting for a people’s militia for its national defense.

Every able bodied man between the ages of 20 and 30 are conscripted into the militia and undergo military training, including weapons training.

The personal weapons of the militia are kept at home as part of the military obligations; Switzerland thus has one of the highest militia gun ownership rates in the world.

In October 2007, the Swiss Federal Council decided that the distribution of ammunition to soldiers shall stop and that all previously issued ammo shall be returned. By March 2011, more than 99% of the ammo has been received. Only special rapid deployment units and the military police still have ammunition stored at home today.

So, while there may be guns in most houses, there is no ammunition with the guns.

The sale of ammunition is subsidized by the Swiss government and made available at the many shooting ranges patronized by both private citizens and members of the militia. There is a regulatory requirement that ammunition sold at ranges must be used there.
