It's still an unsettling thought for us Europeans that so many US denizens have the means to bring harm to several people before they can be subdued, to the point it is that regular an occurence.

I ain't saying that things like that never happen in Europe, but certainly not to such a scale.

And gun discipline. Pro-guns people who like to point out how many Swiss citizens are gun owners conveniently forget that military service is still compulsory over there and, as such, they've been extensively drilled on gun safety protocols (not to mention their longstanding tradition of hunting and sport shooting).
As such, the Swisstzerland haves around 200 gun-related deaths a year, with homicides accounting for less than 10% of that number (something in the order of 1 per million inhabitants, which is 50 times less a rate than the US).
