Do they mention Switzerland? High levels of gun ownership, mainly due to national service, but virtually zero shootings.

They do not, but the Swiss have always been weird....
Only other they mention is the UK - 6.2 guns per 100 people.
Edit: Wikipedia says 45.7 per 100 in Switzerland. But it also says the US doesn't have 88.8 but 112.6 - fark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country

access to bullets is heavily regulated as well.
probably.

I thought ammunition in Switzerland was very tightly controlled tho'. Guns don't kill people, etc..

100% agree.
Interesting stats in this article about gun crime in Japan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38365729
I wonder if those two are related.
Carry a gun, especially when you're not supposed to, and the risk of being shot increases dramatically.
