Meeting rooms and a poster of the committee against the EU gun laws and policies, prior to the committee's meeting in Burgdorf, Switzerland, Sunday, May 19, 2019. Swiss voters clearly accepted EU's stricter gun control at the national ballot.
The vote Sunday was part of Switzerland’s regular referendums that give citizens a direct say in policymaking. It had stoked passions in a country with long, proud traditions of gun ownership and sport and target shooting. Switzerland, unlike many other European nations, allows veterans of its obligatory military service for men to take home their service weapons after tours of duty.
Jean-Luc Addor, a populist Swiss People’s Party lawmaker from the southwestern Valais region, said adopting the EU directive would be “unjust, freedom-killing, useless, dangerous, and above all, anti-Swiss.”
Fear makes people give up their rights for the sake of safety.
tighter gun laws, as long as theirs guns, violence won't stop just cuz there's less guns
Arn't deadly attacks already illegal, with convicted facing rather harsh punishment? Whats does restricting the lawful citizens have to do with that?
Look at that, sensible gun safety laws. Here is the US lawmakers want to tell women what we can and can’t do with our bodies because life is sacred, but you want to carry a gun, even an assault weapon, go right ahead. Just don’t touch that fetus!
or pass restrictions on the ethnic group that believes that violence is a necessary part of their religion and way of life
Send us your k-31's and ammo please!
More on how you got the Australian elections wrong please.
Just in: Swiss unable to defend themselves. Now limited to throwing valuable timepieces at terrorists. ⏱
Fuck that! What a sad day for this world.
And look how good those are working for them! Whoot dumbasses abound!
Notice the list of countries w deadly attacks did not include Switzerland, bc citizens can defend themselves
I don't see the purpose of tighter gun laws I believe the people of Switzerland are of sane mind and cannot engage in careless shooting.Half the population has guns and life there is peacefull
They want to disarm us all so then they can attack
It's proof that American IQs lower after immigation
They don’t have a 2nd amendment. We do. Get over it.
They should adopt tighter Muslim Islamist rules. There. I fixed it for them.
What a sad day for Swiss voters. After they take all the guns away. They will have to defend themselves with knives. Then they'll be coming after your knives.
Switzerland already limits most gun use and purchase to active and former military members, this just adds extra steps to purchase and registration for civilians. Nothing wrong with that.
How long till the knife ban kicks in?
All the tighter gun laws haven’t stopped any murders in the EU. Criminals don’t live by any rules.
Foolish
Mark this moment, the beginning of the end of their freedom.
But what if they have to start a militia?-said only the NRA.
