Oh, and one of the reasons for the lower number of guns in Switzerland is, from what I could find, is that they don't draft women into the military, meaning they don't get a military issued weapon that they get to keep after their term of service is over.
How about a situation showing the reverse? A place where much stricter gun control laws has not made a dent in gun violence? Because Chicago is a prime example of that.
What it boils down to is that law abiding citizens don't use guns to commit crimes. Criminals use guns to commit crimes. If you outlaw guns, the criminals will either find ways to get them illegally (Chicago) or they'll resort to some other way of committing the crimes.

"Law abiding citizens don't...commit crimes", eh? Seems a bit circular to me.
And I'm not seeing how what you linked contradicts my post.

Do I have a reputation for ignoring statistics? I have to say, that's a new one.
