Well, Switzerland still ranks very high in terms of gun ownership. (4th place in the world)
My point is that the mere availability of guns can't be the only reason.
This is most likely a very complex problem with many different issues that have to be tackled. Better police training, preventing ghettos, hopeless economic situation for people of certain race, racism - these are all issues that will have to be tackled to get this under control.
Just taking away the guns wont solve the problem I fear.

If you're insisting that the situation with firearms in Switzerland resembles that of the US you are either ignorant, obtuse, or dishonest. They are not even remotely comparable.
