The United States has higher rates of firearm ownership than do other developed nations...

Not nearly as high as Switzerland, which has a lower violent crime rate than Great Britain, where private ownership of firearms is rigidly controlled. This study's premise is flawed and its conclusions are untrustworthy or outright wrong.

Is it still true that every man in Switzerland from ages 18 to 65 is in the Army and has weapons at his disposal (at home) and in stashes in the Alps? Each stash with ammunition and vehicles for a close living group?

Of course it is flawed and outright wrong. That is not the issue. Persuasion is the issue and truth be damned. Americans are "study' happy. This is one more bit of data in the "Boom" to disarm the people. It is a "Study" from a once prestigious university, WOW! Those who do not even belong to our society and who are moving into control need a disarmed populace in order to work their will on the future serfs. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! day in day out.
