I'm agreeing with you. I promise you that when they were dispatched, possible ordinance would be included in the notes and the crews that deal with that would try to be 1st on scene.
Yeah, they would have to tell them what was there. And I'd expect them to warn people "we have X exposure risk" so people would know. In theory anyone anywhere near the scene would have to know. And if you didn't know, that would imply that whatever it was was so bad that they were hiding it.

Not exactly. They have some benefits of EU (open border). But if they want to retain them they have to meet the EU rules. This is pretty straightforward.

See, it's stuff like this that gets called bullying that has made the world nothing but a bully factory.

Like when you can't go into a restaurant when you refuse to wear a shirt bullied. It's a club that they were voluntarily considering now participating in.

This is classic bullying 101. Switzerland is not being occasionally "teased" or "made fun of" (that is the crap I hate called bullying) in this situation. Its an all or nothing deal. My way or highway. That is top notch political bullying to me. Plus the Swiss gun control laws don't hurt the EU one bit. It's the EU just being a prick. If it was based on economics, missile defense, or explosives with a wide blast radius, that makes total sense.
Although, as the years go on, Switzerland keeps losing its balls and continues to cave at the EU's whim. Hell, they even voluntarily fixed their Franc to the Euro to help. How did that work out for the Swiss????
Oh well, the Earth will keep turning no matter which way the chips fall.

That's like calling all laws bullies. It's just the law. And in this case, not a law forced on them, one that they voluntarily joined.

They are believed to not just hurt the EU by jeopardizing security, many Swiss believe that they are causing problems in Switzerland.

That is fine. Then the Swiss can adjust their own laws. I'm all on board with that.

That's what they just did. This was totally voluntary from Switzerland. They took an internal vote and got an overwhelming majority at around 2/3rds that desired tighter gun control.

One of the things affecting Switzerland that causes them concern about gun ownership as it has been is suicide rates. And the other big one is domestic violence.

All laws are not bullies but there are some that can be considered as such. What they joined voluntarily many many moons ago is not what they are being give today based on the this new requirement of "our way or the highway." Basically a bait and switch tactic. Aka - Bullying.
