    Two out of three Swiss support the EU Gun Ban, referendum against it likely to fail (poll)

    Yes. From what I understand even members of Pro-Tell (Swiss gun rights organization), agree that the opinion polls are accurate. Many Swiss are fearful of being kicked out of the Schengen zone and the economic backlash should they reject implementing amendments to the EU Firearm Directive...

    Two out of three Swiss support the EU Gun Ban, referendum against it likely to fail (poll)

    It’s unfortunately true that the chances of success for this referendum is rather slim. One of my Swiss friends who is a member of Pro-Tell told me most referendums do not succeed statistically speaking and with the antis using the access to Schengen card, it is an uphill battle. But publicly...

    EUGunBan: Push for 2A in the Czech Republic

    What sort of shotguns are permitted? Eg: only double barrels? Or are semi-autos and pump action allowed as well? How about coach guns and the like? Also, what are the hoops an average Greek has to jump through to get a licence or permit for a shotgun? Eg: mandatory hunting/shooting/collecting...

    EUGunBan: Push for 2A in the Czech Republic

    I am curious about the gun laws in Greece and what are the hoops Greeks have to jump through to get firearms and what firearms are permitted. Also how will the European Firearms Directive lead to changes in Greek gun laws? As an American, I have always heard of Greek gun laws being so strict...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    There has not been much coverage on this issue over here in the US. I get most of my updates on the EU Directive via all4shooters.com. Very disappointed to learn that countries such as Finland, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia and Sweden who initially opposed the directive abandoned gun...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    Very good article! Glad to see strong opposition from the Czech Government toward this stupid directive. However, I note the article mentioning the Czechs may be outvoted. From what I understand only the V4 countries and the Baltics are staunchly opposed to the directive. Are there any other...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    Yes indeed. I hope that there will not be any big impact on gun owners and definitely no more salami slicing tactics where the freedoms of law abiding Europeans are taken away bit by bit. By the way, RoscoeBryant what is the stance of the Austrian government with regards to the Commission directive?

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    Hmm... Very good insight into the politics of individual countries. Extremely informative. By the way, what do you think is the likelihood this directive would pass? Would there be any salami slicing involved where Europeans would lose some of their freedoms? Eg: ban on converted autos...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    Don't get me wrong. What I said about East European gun owners being more united stems from my personal opinion from my interaction with them. Case in point : I spoke to a Slovak gun collector who has a concealed permit in Slovakia. He told me most gun owners in Slovakia were united in...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    I do think the East Europeans, especially the Czechs and Slovaks gun owners or at least those I have met are more united with regards to defending their rights. On the other hand, those from Western Europe (I have had the chance to compete and talk and length with Italian, German, French...

    Anti gun consequences of Paris attack

    I feel European gun owners have to be more serious about writing and lobbying their members of EU parliament as well as their respective national legislators. I met an Italian and Belgian gun owner at my range. I asked them about the upcoming EU directive and what they were doing to ensure that...

    9 dead in shooting @ Conn. beer warehouse

    Its indeed sad...my thoughts and prayers are with the families of his victims as well as his family. Wonder what drove him over the edge. It is incidents like this and how people like him are unable to control their emotions and actions that give law-abiding gun-owners a very very bad name...
