Switzerland is a particularly interesting example. Their gun ownership
rate may well conceal the true level of firearm availability as most
Swiss men between 20-30 are required to store an Army issued firearm at
home. If those firearms are added to the ownership figures, it may well
be that Switzerland approaches the level of firearm access that the US
has.

In short: It's not about firearms. It's about violence.

Gun control may or may not be a good idea ... I'm in favour myself, but
it's not going to solve the issue of violence.
