Seems like the left in Switzerland is getting annoyed again, after the evil right wingers won the votation about unconditionally deporting aliens with criminal records.
They launched a ballot initiative against gun ownership that would have placed loads of onerous rules on the law-abiding gun owners in Switzerland (gun registration, complete ban on pump-action and full auto guns, having to display a 'genuine need' to posess guns etc), all in the name of 'crime prevention' and 'suicide prevention'.
However, as of 13:55 CET, 13 cantons have already refused that ballot initiative, which makes it impossible for the launchers of that initiative to win - for that, they would need at least 13 cantons to accept it, and ontop, the majority of the voters also voted it down, which, even if the large cities accepted it with a 100% vote in favor of that initiative - something which is not going to happen, would not help them.
