Swiss banning most military ammo in private houses

[col_tapiocca]

Our parliament issued a new law
to ban ordinance ammo of active service man. They are 50rounds GP90 for a soldier and 20 rounds for a officer. Regulations for civilian used weapon and ammo are still the same.

The Swiss can buy ammo at the range without showing ID or having their ammo purchase recorded, but they are supposed to use the ammo while at the range.
The Swiss can buy rifle and pistol ammo at the store and take it home with them, but they have to show ID and sign for it I think.

That's absolutely right.
We can buy ammo Military round (only GP90, GP11 and 9mm) on governmental / army subsidized shooting ranges at reduced price. But you "should not" take it home.
Commercial Ammo are still obtainable with a swiss ID / passport.

This law is what anti-gunners call a "step."

It's sadly truth! The tactics are around the world the same. We lost our rights piecewise.
Next argument of our anti-gunners will be: Since the service man don't have the ammo at home, why do they need their rifle at home?

Just for your infomation:
Before 1999 all weapon except handguns and full-automatics are obtainable without any licence or paperwork. Just get in to the gun shop show a ID, sign and pay and It's yours!
Carry a gun was free in most cantons (Swiss word for State) before 1999!
But since the new federal gun law of 1999 things changed.
Now switzerland is not saver at all.

And for those who don't know yet: Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. Fortunately

Colonel,

What's the story on abolishing the Swiss military? My colleague is an ethnic german Swiss who says it's "being considered."

Does that just mean a couple of politicians have said something to that effect or is someone proposing a referendum?

Thnks.

Years ago we'd a popular vote about abolishing the swiss army. But most people voted no. So we keep our army.
But the antis don't give up.

Ah, we all know how smart it is to store all your ammo in a few easy to find locations during times of war.....
