The Grand Chamber took its decision by 116 votes in favor and 72 against, with three abstentions. The SP, Greens and GLP voted in favor of the initiative. She’s off the table.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, some cantons have reported a huge increase in the number of applications for weapons purchase permits, Schlatter said, justifying her request. Today it is not possible to accurately quantify the number of guns in private households.

With its negative decision, the National Council followed the request of the majority of its Committee for Security Policy (SIK-N). It was judged that the existing network of cantonal registers was sufficient. A national register would not provide additional security, but would lead to duplication of work and more bureaucracy.
