Swiss Vote For More Gun Control In Face Of EU Threats

Unfortunately, the rest of Europe couldn’t tolerate that. Despite no evidence of Swiss firearms filtering into the rest of the continent, the European Union threatened to close off the borders to Switzerland if it didn’t enact more gun control.

By threatening to close the borders after years of an open-border policy, Switzerland stood to take a massive hit financially. The average voter couldn’t comprehend how their nation would deal with it, so they voted to kiss the EU ring.

While Switzerland is not part of the EU, it is part of Europe’s Schengen open-border system, meaning bucking Brussels on gun regulations could have led to the nation leaving the Schengen zone.

EU should keep its dirty nose out of Switzerland. swiss can do without the economic threats.

the problem here is that the swiss is part of the schengen system, so they're subject to that type of blackmail.

the swiss are going to face a reckoning one day that they will have to choose their laws or the law of EU in order to stay in the schengen zone.

I thought the Swiss required their people who are in the Army to own guns.
