This nation is set to approve Europe’s first constitutionally protected right to bear arms

On Thursday, the Czech Republic’s lower house of parliament approved a constitutional amendment that would enshrine the right to bear arms. One hundred and thirty-nine out of 200 MPs approved the change after it was suggested by interior minister Milan Chovanec who asked the houses of parliament to “show [him] a single terrorist attack in Europe perpetrated using a legally owned weapon.” The move is a reply to the violent and numerous terror attacks that have been sweeping Europe since 2015.

This is awesome. The right to own and carry weapons is a human right and it should be universally recognized as such.

“...Home of CZ Firearms!...”

The Czechs have a long history of fine firearms.

God Bless the Czechs. Former communist country sticking a middle finger up to the new commie empire - the EU.

Like Poland. They GET it.

These are the kind of folks we WANT to come here.

If you get a moment, look up “And Not A Shot Is Fired” by Jan Kozak. It’s basically the story of how the communist took over Czechoslovakia from the inside.

https://www.amazon.com/Not-Shot-Fired-Jan-Kozak/dp/189264701X

You can find it in PDF format on the web too.

The Czechs had long history of gun culture, similar to ours.

First thing the leftard bastards did was disarm them all, like they do everywhere.

There’s a REASON to own guns - and that reason is for the day someone TRIES to outlaw them. Surrendering them without a fight is NOT an option.

A CZ75 9mm (an original one) is definitely on the “I Need/Want/Must Have One Of These” list.

No less a luminary than the late Col. Jeff Cooper praised it as one fine fighting handgun.

And the countries that need the right to bear arms the most are making it even harder to do so. At their own peril, I might add.

No. Varies from canton to canton as I recall. The old “machine gun in every house”, not so much.

Switzerland's population is armed, but I believe this is at the discretion of the government and not explicitly affirmed as a right in Switzerland.

According to Wikipedia:

The Swiss have a statutory right to bear arms under Article 3 of the 1997 Weapons Act.

What the Government giveth, the government can taketh away.

Good.

Now let’s import a couple hundred boatloads of Czechs who want to be American citizens along with the 7.5mm...
