Switzerland
Compare the cases of Pekka-Eric Auvinen ([[Finland]]) and Robert Steinhäuser ([[Germany]]) with the case of Matthew Murray. The latter was stopped by an armed citizen before he could harm more victims; Auvinen killed 8 people and Steinhäuser killed 16. Both Finland and Germany have gun control laws.

==Switzerland==
Switzerland has one of the world's lowest gun crime rates yet there is 2 million privately owned firearms (including 0.6 million automatic rifles and 0.5 million pistols) in a population of only 6 million people.
Many pro-gun groups cite this as an argument for removal of gun control, anti-gun groups have not offered a response to the suggestion of gun control in light of the low-crime to high-gun ownership situation in Switzerland. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1566715.stm]
