Switzerland, as one Harvard paper indicates, has extremely high gun ownership and an extremely low death firearm death rate… h\However, Switzerland also has mandatory conscription into the militia of all men between 20 and 30.

The requirements for ownership of militia weapons mandates annual training and practice; laws for transportation and safe and secure storage of firearms are strict and permits to carry are difficult to obtain; citizens are limited to a maximum of three firearms apiece.

Switzerland’s gun policy requires all purchases of ammunition to be registered and recorded, and every gun legally sold to bear a serial number. Permits and background checks are required for purchase. Records must be kept and maintained.

In short, regulations that if proposed and implemented here would send the NRA leadership into a frothing apoplexy.
