Near-complete results show at least 14 out of 26 Swiss cantons rejected the proposal in Sunday's vote.
For the proposal to succeed, it required the support of the majority of Swiss citizens and the cantons.
Overall, about 57% of the Swiss voters rejected the plan, while 43% backed it.
Serving and former soldiers have been allowed to keep their weapons at home since World War II.
From reading the articles at the link, I see that they anti firearms forces there are using similar sets of lies as the ones here do.
Before the vote, I sent an email to ProTell wishing them luck.

The point I would make in riposte to the suicide whiners is asking them why, to prevent a free human being from making a decision to end their own lives, they think it's worthwhile to trample the rights on the other 98% of us. Or, perhaps more fundamentally, if I choose to end my life, how is that anyone's business but mine and my family's?
They want to control everything, even life and death. Anything they can stick their noses into.
That's an ad hom and nothing else. You can easily say the same thing about conservatives. After all, it wasn't Liberals who banned dildos, oppose sex ed of any serious kind in schools or would like to make women slaves to their wombs. Nor is it Liberals who are out to get Kevorkian and are up in arms over assisted suicide. Control freaking is found on both sides.
But German- and Italian-speaking cantons outvoted the plan's supporters in the French-speaking west.
There is some sort of message here
Well that explains everything. They're hoping to be conquered. It's what the French do!
The French speaking cantons in Western Switzerland, Zurich and Basel city are the leftist/green strongholds for years.
Take a walk through Geneva or Lausanne and you'll see a LOT of people who don't appear to be Swiss natives.
See a correlation here ?
