Switzerland is a less diverse and smaller country. I’d assume there’s far less reason for people to be violent. In America it’s much more mainstream, and since our people have the mindsets they do, giving them guns like they do in switzerland would only promote them to commit even more crime. From what I read on google, switzerland gives weapons to former soldiers, they are trained properly so they are less likely to be promoted by having a gun to kill others or themselves. Also I’m assuming switzerland’s suicide rates are much lower, they’re probably a happier country overall. In America we have had decades of reinforced careless behavior while armed. From little kids in the 60s wearing cowboy hats and playing with fake guns, to suburban kids in newyork listening to a song about kicking in someones door brandishing a .44.
If you trained all your citizens and taught them how to respect and use a weapon, then of course they wont go around murdering each other at increasing rates. I still think it’s a dumb idea to give people weapons, and switzerland has a very high gun-related death rate as would be expected.
Because the media hasn’t propagated these ideas with a nice dose of identity politics… yet
