Switzerland has more guns than Canadians, including a lot of assault rifles. They have very few shootings.
Canada's lower rate of gun violence is related to its rate of violent crime and crime overall, and these are ALL much lower than in the US.
The source of most violent crime are the social factors and poverty within visible minority communities. That is true in the US, true in Canada, and true in the UK. It is mostly the criminal element within those communities, esp gangs, fighting it out with other gangs.
They have a lot of guns but more or less, no one is quite sure. Figures disagree widely. Since 2008, all guns that change hands must be registered.
All Swiss males must undergo military service and they have the option of keeping their weapon when they are finished. Ammunition for their assault rifles is available at particular ranges and subsidized, but must be used onsite.
