Czech Republic Parliament Passes Constitutional Right to Bear Arms
Breitbart ^ | June 29, 2017 | Chris Tomlinson

Czech lawmakers have passed legislation in the lower parliament that would see the right to bear firearms enshrined in the country’s constitution in a move directed against tighter regulations from the European Union. The legislation was passed with 139 deputies agreeing to the amendment to the constitution with only nine deputies voting against. The amendment will now be considered by the Czech Senate where it will require a supermajority of three-fifths of the members in order to pass into law, Die Presse reports.

If I ever go to Europe it will be in Central Europe. They are still proud of their heritage. Nice to see Czech citizens allowed to own the awesome firearms produced there.

Is there any doubt that the EU was not just about economics but was designed to strip countries of their sovereignty?

I wish I’d visited Sweden 10 or 15 years ago to see where my great grandparents came from. Today, I’m not so sure I’d go.

....They won’t be telling us who should live here...

Nor, should Democrats and other lunatic liberals be doing that here either.

Nice. Still the niggling thing about being required to have a certificate. Thats a loophole Statists would use to deny the right.

Merkel’s EU trying to force the eastern European counties to accept more migrants sounds like a 21st century version of lebensraum to me.

Although the future doesn’t bode well, I’ve heard that one can visit Germany and Scandinavia today and find it still very traditional, very lovely. The Muslim immigrants are largely confined to subsidized housing projects, away from the tourist parts of town. 95% of the people are still native European—so it really isn’t all that bad (yet.)

As one can see here, NO terrorist attacks in Poland (which accepts no Muslim refugees) and ONE attack in Czech, which also accepts (almost) no Muslim refugees. Very few attacks too, in the Eastern block countries--compared to dozens and dozens in Western Europe.

Good for them! They’re also very fortunate that they (the Czechs) they can acquire some of the finest firearms in the world, IMO. (CZ)

Very good news. Neither Britain or Sweden has even considered letting their citizens defend themselves, if fact, they hate the idea. Bravo to the Czechs!

My mom and my aunt took my son, then aged about 12 to Sweden some years ago. The Swedes paid a return visit a year later while we lived in Minnesota.

We toured Mpls, the North Shore of Lake Superior, then down to Iowa where my Great Grandpa and grandma lived.

They explored my old coal mining town of Mystic, the local cemetery when Gus and Marie rest. It was a good visit.

Good for them. I’d like to point out that more than any other country, the Czechs have very good reason to react when “other” countries decide what is best for them.
At least one Euro country has learned the lesson. The other Eastern European countries have also seemed to be paying attention. Good for them, too!
