67. Are you sure you want to use Switzerland as an example of no guns?
Practically every Swiss male is in the militia, and has a government-issued machinegun in their house.

They don't have a RIGHT to keep and bear arms, they have an OBLIGATION to keep and bear arms. And guess what? They have a very low crime rate. That shows pretty conclusively that guns do NOT equal crime.
