SWISS VOTERS SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND GUN RIGHTS IN A NATIONAL REFERENDUM

BBC:

Swiss voters have rejected proposed tighter controls on gun ownership, final results show.

Twenty of the 26 cantons and 56.3% of voters rejected the plan, meaning the current system allowing army-issue weapons to be kept at home will remain.

Supporters of the tighter curbs wanted to have weapons kept in armouries and were demanding stricter checks on gun owners.

WISE.

BTW: RELATIVELY FEW CRIMES ARE COMMITTED WITH GUNS IN SWITZERLAND, DESPITE COMPARATIVELY HIGH GUN OWNERSHIP RATES.
