But the proposals have raised hackles in Switzerland, which has a long, and for many Swiss, proud tradition of gun ownership. After Swiss men complete their obligatory military service, they are permitted to keep their assault rifles.
There are gun clubs in every town and village, and target-shooting is a hugely popular sport.

"Mr Bösiger has a point. Despite the millions of weapons in homes across Switzerland, the overall crime rate is low.
Gun crime is higher in Switzerland's neighbours."

"It's about bringing Switzerland to a safer place, where there is not as much gun violence as there is now. There are a lot of guns in Switzerland in private homes, and that is a real problem."

Wankers.
Completely blind to every fact that differs from the Controlist future that they dream about.

If the Swiss remember their history, the vote will be a landslide telling the EU to go fuck themselves.

No, but a citizen may apply for one. The laws are pretty draconian, I wouldn’t look to Switzerland as a beacon of moral gun laws.

Yeah, it appears so.
