In the US, that would start a revolution over night. So I don't believe it's gonna happen here. Certainly I hope it doesn't.
What I'm surprised by is that this hasn't started a war there. I don't know much about the swiss, other than the fact they have a massive reserve army that everyone participates in. A small group of wimps telling a large group of people with assault rifles to cough up their ammo, it just doesn't stand up to logical reasoning. Maybe they just don't have the same sense of what freedom needs to be that we get from our constitution?

Remember, Senator Kennedy was trying to introduce legislation to outlaw center-fire cartridges

Just talked to a Swiss guy about this. Apparently, they're just moving most of the government issued ammo to something like a base or the town hall. Private ammo and sales are not affected.
Also, it's two years old.

It's been a rule in the US for years. If you look at this, it says the GOVERNMENT ISSUED ammo that solders have can no longer be stored in their homes. Nothing about personal ammo that any citizen may have.
Brian seems to have gotten excited about a 2 year old headline that he didn't research before posting.

You may be right. I was basing it on this sentence..."The ban also applies to the male citizens who make up Switzerland’s time-honored citizens’ militia. Even they will be required to keep their ammo at approved government facilities."
The also applies line suggests that it applies to the general population as well as the military.
My bad.
