Should Greece abolish the draft?

Our PM said the other day that he is considering changing the constitution by the end of his term to update the electoral system and get rid of some old and pretty much useless institutions.

He also said that he is considering changing article 6 of the rights of the citizen, which reads: "Physically and mentally abled citizens must bare arms, and must receive training in how to use them. They also must be in the position to form militias if called upon to defend the country and the constitution from internal or external threats when necessary."

He either wants to adopt an different more recent interpretation of the article, which calls for women to also join the army (today it's just for men) and the training to be reduced to essentially not-training, or to get rid of our right to bear arms entirely and the citizens army entirely.

Ever wonder why shitskins cross the sea and not our land borders? It's because our border with Turkey is heavily fortified and patrolled by soldiers at the end of their training.

And then there is the question of Turkey. Is Turkey civilized enough to relinquish all of their claim in the Aegean and the Mediterranean that have no standing in international law? Probably not.

So how screwed are we if the draft is abolished pol? What would replace our gun laws? In Greece right now, as long as you have received armed training, getting arms is straight forward, and a constitutional right. Will it be after the draft is abolished?
