Swiss Balk At EU Concept Of Stripping ‘Assault Rifles’ From The People

[jimmy the one]

49. california has stricter gun laws than switz - baloney

beergood, regarding restrictive swiss gun policy: you call that restrictive? California has more restrictive laws. and our legislators are trying to pass more.

I didn't, but I cited gunpolicy dot org which did call swiss gun policy restrictive, & they are internationally recognized as a premier gun policy website:
http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/switzerland

You contend california has stricter gun laws than these which pertain to the swiss? the ones listed below are most all either more restrictive than california's, or about the same.
Then cite which california gun laws are indeed stricter, cause I think you're fullabaloney - only one I can think of for civilians might be magazine capacity:
