- mikepurvis 2y agoAnd indeed, a high proportion of gun deaths in Switzerland are suicides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Switzerland#Firearm-related_deaths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Switzer... This tracks with: - High gun ownership - Strong gun responsibility culture (guns are safely stored, so fewer accidents) - Strong gun regulation (guns require permits that are not issued to those with criminal records)
