Switzerland has managed to avoid getting involved in European wars since 1815 by depending on neutrality (no military alliances), being heavily armed (via a mobilization army like the one Israel uses) and making use of good defensive terrain (a lot of mountains and few ways to get through them).

. . .

Then came the Islamic terror attacks in France and Belgium during 2015 and 2016. That led the EU (European Union) to try and impose gun control rules on Switzerland as part of an effort to keep illegal weapons from criminals and Islamic terrorists. That made the Swiss even angrier because it threatened Swiss traditions that are believed key to keeping Switzerland out of wars for two centuries. The Swiss point out that they have the highest rate of gun ownership in Europe but the lowest crime rates.
