The US has had strict laws on automatic weapons since the 1930s. Its almost impossible to own an automatic weapon in the US unless you are very wealthy.

The Swiss... since the 2000s

The US has had strict background checks since the 60s

The Swiss.... 1997? Maybe later, the EU forced them to change their gun laws.

The questions stands: more Swiss households have guns than the US, yet gun violence does not exist.

Why?
