It’s a lot of things. Not just guns. Switzerland has similar gun ownership rates, but different gun culture and mental health issues as well as a lower wealth divide and less suffering/impoverished people.
Switzerland ALSO has extremely strictly enforced laws on gun storage, harsh restrictions on where you can buy and store ammo (and how much ammo you can have), and a licensure system for private firearm ownership.
Talk of regulations, actual enforcement of existing laws, or just better training and some people only hear “take my guns away!” They want free market rules without consideration of what that causes.
