centre-left Social Democratic Party, calling for army ammunition to be kept in military storage as opposed to at home.

'cause a rifle with no ammo is just as useful.

Yup, take the guns away. The husbands will no longer be able to kill the wives and children. They will ignore knives, bats, clubs and the good old fashion bare hands. Nope, get the guns and all will be solved.


WAIT A MINUTE...The SWISS have guns?

"Swiss Defence Minister Samuel Schmid argued that Switzerland's militia army needed to be able to mobilise rapidly, "for example to protect airports and railway stations quickly"."

The magazine says it launched the petition in response to the increasing number of family murders in Switzerland, most involving women and children being shot by husbands.

Hello, that statement says it all. More the reason for women to have their own gun.

I am sure this was organized by a muslims womens magazine..... When will people realize rules that they are willing to comply with are the exact ones that others use to Kill the compliant. If people are willing to kill you do you think they will be inhibited by a rule they are not willing to follow?

Throughout this time they keep their rifles and 50 rounds of sealed ammunition at home.

Every single able-bodied man of military age has a military rifle and ammo at home. How long has it been since Switzerland was invaded?

Yeah, I thought so.

You'd think the women would petition to have more access to firearms to protect their children and themselves... level the playing field.

17,400 signitures...

7,489,370 in the population.

That's.... .2 percent. Point-two percent. 2/10 of one percent.

Gosh, they'd have done better petitioning a NRA rally!

It is also campaigning for a national weapons register to be created as soon as possible.

Right out of the UN playbook. Of course they do not say how many opposed the same "petition".

More math... that's 17,400 for a publication that has an office circulation of 100,015 (up 8 people from the year before). That's about 17%.

Of course, if you throw in the sister publication (another 100,000 or so) that's 17,400 for 200,000, or 8.5%.

I wonder how many Limbaugh Letter subs would sign a petition if Rush asked them to?

This is smart.

The Swiss seem to be getting more intelligent all the time.

They have an ememy invading them, loudly protesting and threatening to kill them and take over their country.

What to do, oh, what to do?

Ahhh that's it!! get rid of our last line of defence, disarm the militia!!!
