Very informative video. When I was in Germany in 2017 I found it fascinating when crossing the border into Schaffhausen the availability of firearms in contrast to across the border it was practically impossible to acquire any firearm with limited exceptions. Does Die Schwietzer Volk's Partei show any inclination towards relaxing firearm laws similiar to that of the Czech Republic or is the politics more divided in this matter?

The Swiss People's Party (SVP) has a history of supporting gun rights and Switzerland's gun culture. While the Czech Republic has eased gun laws, Switzerland's approach remains largely the same. Swiss politics on guns are complex, but the focus has been on keeping the unique Swiss gun tradition.
Glad I could help!
