Does anybody have info indicating (or suggesting) that being in western Europe, though it's officially neutral, Swiss GP-11 ammo is, or will be banned from export to the US?

I hope that the Swiss govt. doesn't cave in to pressure from any UN group or those Brit/Euro "arms control" groups, which use taxpayer funds to pay countries to destroy even surplus bolt-action rifles (i.e. Enfields etc) and their ammo.

Although Enfields are my favorite, I might consider a K-31 when the panic cools off a bit more.
I've read and heard that the 7.5 Swiss ammo can use most or all of our available .308 bullets.
