[[[Although Switzerland is not a member of the EU, it must adapt its laws or, if the referendum fails, bow out of the Schengen Area — Europe’s open-border system — and the Dublin Accord for handling asylum applications. ]]]
Sounds like a win-win
Why do the ‘rats never point to Switzerland as a model the US should aspire to?
ROFL!!!
The EU won’t kick them out if they vote to keep their gun system intact. It’s the same way that the EU isn’t rushing to kick the UK out via BREXIT. It comes to ‘balls’, which the EU lacks and all it’s chatter is just hot air in the end.
The polling has suggested that it might be 52-percent to adapt to the EU laws, but it’s all dependent on the voter turn-out. They rarely now (since the 1950s) get more than 50-percent of the public to show up. In some of these elections, they’ve only gotten 32-to-34 percent of the public to show. The belief is....the more that show up tomorrow....the more likely the pro-gun position comes out ahead.
A second piece is this vote is a tax-payer reform act, which would take away tax advantages for companies. There’s a belief if you vote this out....thousands of jobs will disappear over the next couple of years. Added to this reform act, is a pension change...which Swiss describe as highly complicated and less trust on it delivering anything positive in the end.
Don’t throw me in that brier patch.
“On May 19, Switzerland will vote on whether or not to reform its gun laws to adapt to changes in the European Union’s weapons directive.”
I hope they tell the EU to “geh Sand in deinen Arsch hauen”.
