kay, so no more Swiss Army...?

I have NO idea how they will implement this, there.

EVERY house as at least one full-auto...?

When you retire from the army you do get to keep your personal army rifle (which is almost always full-auto).

Notice too that the EUSSR is trying to push this on a non-member.

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.
