Gun ownership and gun violence: A comparison of the United States and Switzerland Aggression and Violent Behavior (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-08-03 Wolfgang Stroebe, N. Pontus Leander, Arie W. Kruglanski
There is a great deal of empirical evidence from the USA, but also internationally, that country-level gun ownership is positively associated with homicide and mass shooting rates. Because Switzerland appears to be an exception to this rule, having a high level of gun ownership but a very low homicide rate and practically no mass shootings, the Swiss situation is often used as evidence that firearm
