As for free guns, there wasn't a question on it on the quiz. I would be drastically against free guns (and would not like to live in a country where you can buy a gun just like that).

About military service, on second thought, I agree with Jonathan and Marco. Although I am generally against military conscription, too. I think a reasonable way is allowing an individual to reject to serve in the army and choose civil service, but with some disadvantages, eg, longer service and obvious consequences such as the
prohibition to work for companies that build weapons. This is *more or less* what was the case in Italy a few years ago, although I think that laws have changed somehow recently (in favor of civil service, hence volunteer-based army).

And yes, Marco, "socialist" has definitely a different meaning to americans than it has to europeans, possibly as a consequence of cold war.
