Im going to guess there are fewer desperate, discarded, angry people in Switzerland.

    Yeah, guns are the tools and not the root cause. Significant income disparity, racism, social pressures, and a ton of other triggers cause murders and suicides and while guns enable them there still needs to be something that causes someone to use the guns in that way.

    Violent crime that doesn't involve guns in the US is significantly higher than other western countries.
