Switzerland has the highest "assault weapon" ownership rates in the world...since Switzerland has no standing army, every male aged 20 goes through military training and is a member of the militia until age 30 (if not longer). They are issued SIG 550 rifles (officers and medical personnel also get SIG P220s) that are kept at HOME.
Switzerland has one of the lowest murder rates in Europe, and one of the lowest murder rates in the world (0.7 per 100,000 inhabitants).
The UK is 1.2; the US is 4.2
