So, Switzerland has only about 1 private gun for every 4 people. Here in America, we have 1 gun per person, on the average - FOUR times as many at the other country. PLUS, we have WAY more minorities with poor impulse control. So that is an apples to toadstools comparison.

I have spent some time in Switzerland, Geneva to be specific, and while it is a nice place to visit I would not want to live there. To begin with you pretty much need to be a multimillionaire to live the same lifestyle I do in Alabama on about $100k.

Because white people have such good impulse control, right?

Like Dylan Roof, the Columbine killers, the Sandy Hook shooter, etc etc etc

I don't know why you brought the idea of 'minorities' into the discussion. But, even if you take away the 'minorities', Switzerland still has less shootings and murder.

America has always been different.

"Here in America, we have 1 gun per person"

There is a difference between the number of people owning guns and the number of guns owned. A person owning 5 guns does not mean they are available for 5 people. So, there is no way that the U.S. has 1 gun per person. I hope you understand this distinction because the Left is using it to confuse U.S. gun ownership with the estimated number of guns owned to drive up their case on murder rate.
