As some of You may now our government betrayed us and accepted a EU directive to restrict firearm access drastically in Switzerland. The law is supposed to be enacted may 2019.

We, people of Switzerland refuse to accept this and we decide to oppose it by referundum.

To get that law voted for or against by the people, we needed to gather 50 000 verified (each signature is verified by their municipality) within 3 months...

It sounds very little but for a country of 7 million it is not that easy, especially in only 3 months...

Especially given the fact that most people don't know or realize that this new law is about to happen and that it is forced onto us by the EU...

Well, today the results came in... We did it. We did not get 50k verified signatures but 125 000 signatures and I can tell you tonight that some anti gun people and pro EU rats are getting worried.

I personally gathered 130 signatures.

But the fight is far to be over. Right now I give us about 30% chances of victory.

The problem is that we have all political parties against us but one. Also, all the economical and media powers are against us.

It's going to be a tough fight. But we will not give up. And whatever the result, I don't not intend to surrender.

Thanks to all those who supported us so far by putting pressure on media polls.

Will keep you up to date.

2009? Typo or is this 10 year old news?

Good luck, those in power tend to dislike others to have power themselves in the form of weapons to include firearms.

Glad to hear you guys have a semi-easy option to avoid being disarmed.

Nice job and good luck!   You can do it.

It always impresses me how some folks (usually following a known common ideology) go rabidly against other people's rights to defend themselves.

Brazil's former leftist government did everything it could to take guns from the honest citizens.  Even tried a referendum and lost it by far.  Not happy, it stopped very short to tale guns away by using the bureaucracy.  Now their new president is reversing that.

We are going through similar attacks here and even some backstabbing by Trump and the NRA.  So, this is a global issue.

The fact that the EU can even issue "directives" like that is absurd. It's supposed to be a military alliance and a trade union, not a federal government over the whole continent that treats member nations like provinces.

Good on you guys for fighting back.

So assuming that's a typo and OP meant 2019, that's the year the nazis, I mean the EU, intends to disarm all member countries or just the Swiss?

Basically You would not be a owner anymore and possession would have to be linked to an activity.

Mag capacity limit (10 rounds pistols 20 rounds long guns)

Collapsible or folding stocks and overall lengths for rifles.

And more BS like that

How does that work with the Swiss militia system? I'm probably going to prove my ignorance of details here, but doesn't the militia (everybody of age) require the members have a long gun with 200 rounds of ammo(and magazines) in their house(ammo in some sort of secure ammo storage that can be broken only in cases of invasion). Wouldn't the whole "no more than 20 round mags" be an issue?

The gun enthusiasts will vote against this.  So you need to pull in another voting block.

Your best hope is to sell this vote as a vote on EU intrusion on Switzerlands' sovereignty.

If you can create fear of the EU, you can create the votes you need.

You will need to translate these slogans into Swietzedeutsche:

"The entire EU knows the Swiss can not be trusted with firearms."

"Vote yes - it is what Germany has always wanted."

"Who do the Swiss think they are? - their own country?"

"Give up your guns; you can trust Brussels" (followed by eyeroll or reference to the Nazis).

"Disarm Switzerland.  What could possibly go wrong?" (Reference the Nazis).

Make plans now to always have access to a weapon and ammo. I don’t know if all your guns are “registered” but get some weapons and ammo buried in a unknown/safe place. I hope you guys keep your rights but it’s only a matter of time. If they are registered hide a couple and report them as stolen if need be. You will be disarmed in your lifetime unless you are elderly.

It goes beyond that.  When the people are defenseless, helpless, scared, and dependent on government to keep them safe, they the people are more likely to support bigger government with more power.  Personal disarmament is a positive feedback for big government.

ETA Good luck to the people of Switzerland.  Their situation sounds familiar, with the government and media working together to disarm them.
