I wouldn't qualify myself as 'pro-gun', rather the opposite.
Switzerland is interesting in many ways, one of which is the degree to which the government is very close to a true democracy, the fact that they don't waste a ton of money on their defence (which has a lot to do with them being in a geographically special position) and in the way that they have guns but abuse is low.
The fact that this is very different to the situation in the US might hold some clues to what could be done about this.
