I'm a firearms collector and enthusiastic sports-shooter. I'm honored that many fellow gun enthusiasts all over the world look at Switzerland in such a positive way. Sadly, our current system is under heavy attack by an initiative of our left-wingers. We will vote about our gun laws in February and a lot of emotional discussion is currently going on. The initiative will stop the current way of taking the service rifle home between terms of service and will seriously impact the overall laws concerning purchase and ownership of firearms. It will basically put a stop to civilian gun ownership except for hunting and certified sport/competition. If you want to do me and the free world a favor, pray that this initiative gets thrown out with a overwhelming percentage. Best regards from Switzerland Mike Hi, I’m Mike and I live in Switzerland.

I worked in Europe in the 90's and met some business associates from that country. They were proud of the fact that their country has repeatedly rejected joining the UN and that it's unflinchingly neutral. These people were so level-headed, logical, and hard working it's easy to see why they have almost no negative gun issues. To them, a gun is a tool no different than a shovel or a hammer.
