Swiss Voters Approve New Gun Laws

5 years, 7 months ago
Voters have endorsed a controversial reform of Swiss gun law to bring it into line with European Union rules.
Final results show the reform winning 63.7% of the ballot on Sunday. The result was much closer in some rural regions, though voters in canton Ticino were the only ones to reject the legal amendment.
Ownership of semi-automatic weapons will now require regular training on the use of firearms and a serial numbering of major parts of some guns to help track them.
Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter welcomed the outcome, saying it made Switzerland more secure by improving the traceability of firearms and increasing the exchange of information with other European countries.
Isn’t it interesting how [a] countries that have rejected the Holy Writ and God’s immutable laws, lose interest in self protection and resort to self loathing and wish for death, and [b] the globalist, open borders world view always seems to go hand in hand with disarmament?

Funny, Vox Day wrote a piece years ago about why woman shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Switzerland was one of his examples. the Swiss started letting woman vote in about 1975. I believe. and their country has been getting more and more “European”.
Interesting read. solid proof to back his claims. just not a topic to have at the dinner table.(you know that ‘plody head celibacy thing.)
But here they are, in a country saved from the wars that have ravaged Europe by the ownership of private arms. starting down the path. Sad.

Isn’t it interesting? Yes it does capture my interest, but I find it very sad.
Swiss Men stand the fuck up!

I think I found your problem; Karin Keller-Sutter. She’s an SJW from before being an SJW was cool, meaning that, she’s a commie and in some commie org who’s “…goal is to contribute to the preservation and further development of a social and liberal economic order.” That sounds a lot like a NWO to me.
Yes, this now barren grandmother will coddle you to safety if you would only suck her dry paps. Because of her, and many like her, the West will be overrun by men lead by men.
Because we loved you we built this whole thing for you, Karin. You and your sisters said that you were cold. We solved that. You said that you were hot and we solved that. You said that you were afraid of the barbarians and we solved that. You said it was hard to walk long distances and we solved that. You said gathering food was toil and we solved that. On and on the list goes. If not for you, men would live in caves eating raw meat, no joke. We love you. You said that you wanted a seat at the ruling table and to rule. To that, men should have said, No! And now, you are a ruler, so comfortable that you have no idea the danger that you are creating. Pitty. The LORD put men at the head for a reason and like Adam in the Garden we’ve stood by. This is not an anti women or anti woman statement by me, this a very pro women and pro woman statement. Your inability to see that will ruin our entire civilization. There is a created order. God will not be mocked.

This outcome isn’t good news for the Swiss, or for freedom-loving people elsewhere.

Don’t feed the beast! Boycott Swiss-made products, and let their manufacturers and distributors know why. Here are few more well-known brands to start with:
Luminox (watches)
Knorr (soup mixes)
Nescafe (coffee)
Nestle (multiple products)
Ricola (lozenges)
Toblerone (chocolate)
Victorinox (knives, Swiss Armu)

May their chains rest lightly….
(I already boycott Toblerone, much to my wife’s chagrin, since the decided to become “halal” compliant.)

One of the ironies here is that Switzerland was always the safest nation in Europe. Switzerland’s neighbors all have always had violent crime rates at least an order of magnitude higher.
