WTF? They have mandatory military service, but not that.

All healthy Swiss men aged between 18 and 34 are obliged to do military service and all are issued with assault rifles or pistols which they are supposed to keep at home.

According to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey, there are about 89 civilian-owned guns for every 100 people who live in the United States. Switzerland ranks third in terms of gun ownership, the Survey estimates, with 3.4 million guns among its population of nearly eight million.

That goes to show you that ownership itself is less of the problem than how they are acquired.

I got a gun after military training is so vastly different than I bought a gun at Walmart.
