I seldom post internet links and this one is very easy to find but I thought it was appropriate... It doesn't seem Switzerland is number one on the gun ownership list, we are it seems by maybe a 2 to 1 margin over those folks , why are our crime rates so high if gun ownership is the answer? This data seems to be a few years old but I suspect it is still fairly close.
