This whole “Swiss crime rate is the lowest in the world” thing is a crock as well. In per capita crimes, the Swiss come in at 20th place out of 60. Italy, with strict gun laws, is 19th. In murders with firearms per capita, Switzerland enjoys a higher rate than nearly any other country in western Europe.
Murders with firearms per capita is essentially meaningless. It is only total murders that is meaningful. It doesn’t matter to the victims if they were murdered with firearms or gasoline or hammers or feet.
