Ihave been hearing about"the authorities" in Switzerland -- whoever they may be -- pressing for tightening up the "liberal" gun laws, even for those who are in the militia.
Here is on such article on this unfortunate trend (although it's from 2007, itsummarizes what has been happening):

If the "anti-gun culture" there issuccessful, it soon may be that Switzerland won't be the example of "gun freedom" it once was.
And don't believe that a small (but vocal) minority can't bring about major changes for an entire country: Look at what the tiny (but loud and militant) pervert gay community has done here in this country to get their agenda accepted by most "Americans." [But not some, fortunately]
The point is, things may be changing -- for the worse -- in Switzerland re: citizens and gun ownership/use.
IIRC, even Israel puts serious restrictions on civilian gun carrying.
Eventually, it may only be America which has the most freedom re: self-defense and the RKBA (i.e., citizens having the
tools to exercise one's right of self-defense)...but with sorry Obama as President, and the Democrats looking to usetheir majority opportunity for accomplishing their liberal/socialist agenda -- who knows how long even America will be free.
