| So, what if there are dozens of other-companies making electronic components (not arms) which eventually find their way into missles, control systems, engines, electronics of war planes, tanks, radar systems, Pilatus aircraft, etc. The example of Pilatus is a good one - I am sure it supports a massive support industry, as any other.
What if some of these systems, if this is they way warfare is going, is using Microsoft Windows as operating system? Will we restrict these businesses as well? Where does it end? | |

I am sorry, but your angle is complete rubbish: If the Swiss decide to ban smoking, it does harm Philip Morris, Reynolds tobacco and the other usual suspects. If automatic weapons are not allowed, UZI will have not much revenue in Switzerland. If the Swiss decide to not wash the blood money from the global "elite" of dictators, some banks will loose business. And if they choose to not get their hands dirty by supplying weapons for some pretty bad conflicts in the third world anymore, than yes, Pilatus and other will either suffer or move.
This is a very conscious decision and absolutely nothing near "amok".
