    Yes culture is a big part I think too, and the availability, can you just go up to a stand at a gun expo and buy a gun in Switzerland? I don’t think so right?

      No. That gun is government issued, and you are responsible for its secure storage. It it not for playing around, and you don’t get any ammo with it. The ammo will be distributed in case the country needs to be defended.

        That makes the whole idea that “there are lots of guns in Switzerland, but no shootings” worthless if you can’t buy bullets.
