      120 guns per American (ie per capita) vs 26 guns per Swiss??

      According to TFA:

      Roughly 3-in-10 citizens in both Switzerland and the United States own guns

      So the number of owners is similar, which is probably more meaningful than the absolute number of guns.

        Not unless these guns are stolen which they often do. Could also signify a difference in culture or how guns are treated. If I have 10 guns, I might as well have one on me, one in my car, and one for my dog.

        But I agree it might be comparable
