A new platform composed of left-wing politicians, police officers and psychiatrists is pushing for Switzerland to follow the European Union in tightening controls on guns.
Representatives of the Social Democratic Party (SP), the Swiss police officers association VSPB/FSFP and the Swiss federation of psychiatrists and psychotherapists FMPP joined forces on Thursday ahead of a debate on the issue in parliament, the Tribune de Genève reported.
The EU parliament approved a revised gun law last year designed to close security loopholes and introduce tighter controls on blank-firing and inadequately deactivated weapons like those used in the Paris terror attacks.
On March 2nd, the Federal Council issued a message on a “pragmatic implementation” of the EU legislation in Switzerland in response to the terror attacks in Europe.

I smell George Soros.
kay, so no more Swiss Army...?
I have NO idea how they will implement this, there.

Notice too that the EUSSR is trying to push this on a non-member.
Ganz idiotisch. Was wollen die Schweizer, mehr Feuerarm Verbrechen?
I remember seeing all those young soldiers at the rail station wit submachine guns.
The Swiss changed the laws in ‘96, as I recall, to require rifles kept after service to semi-auto.
They also required service ammo to be kept at the armory. (not forbidden to have service ammo in the home).
Several other restrictions were put in as well.
All of this to conform to the rest of European Union restrictions on weapons.
The Swiss have virtually no crimes with guns, and almost no suicides. It does not matter to the opposition. 1 murder a year is enough to demand stricter and stricter laws.
ProTell, the equivalent of the NRA in Switzerland is fighting back. The coalition to disarm the Swiss consists mostly of socialists and militant women’s groups, with some who fear economic sanctions by the European Union.

Translating: completely idiotic. What do the Swiss want, more gun crimes?

Sorry, your Swiss accent is way worse than mine. I don’t even understand you! (And I really do speak Schwiizerdüütch)
It will make things worse. Bet money on it!
Boss Hogg goes international!
The communists are on a roll. Freedom is taking it in the shorts. Disarm the entire world and only the communists will have guns. Not lookin’ good for us.
Aaaaaaaah. :)
I was thinking the same thing....dirtbag Soros.
