Incorrect. In terms of guns per capita, the US dwarfs everyone else and is double the size of Switzerland's.

But guns are legal in Switzerland aren't they. So why doesn't it have the problems that America has?

You're the one defending the right for America to remain the bloodbath it's been for many years.

In comparison, I am positively angelic.

Moving the goal posts I see....

People in Switzerland undergo mandatory Military Training and they keep the equipment they use during training at home which can be converted to private use after their training is concluded. The difference between Switzerland and US is that almost all gun owners in Switzerland are trained extensively and aren't as likely to abuse them.

You should honestly try to research these things before you attempt to use them as points in a discussion.
