Like the US, a quarter of Swiss homes have guns, but far fewer of them: The United States has roughly one gun per person, whereas Switzerland has one for every four people. Most Swiss guns were issued to male citizens by the government as part of their compulsory military service. Switzerland operates under a militia systemExternal link with all able-bodied males expected to do military service and participate in the reserves. This means that most Swiss guns are in the hands of people with extensive training in weapons handling and storage.
