switzerland has extremenly permissible gun laws and easy ability to buy fully automatic heavy machine guns (just can't shoot them unless the country is at war) very very few gun related deaths due to the lack of a swiss mental health crisis and an open embrace of firearm training as a cultural strength. image

This is very restrictive compared to USA…you only need permission for machine guns and things like hand grenades (and suppressors and few other oddball guns) in almost every state (save Californians which isn’t really part of the USA). For everything else it is compulsory for the government to permit sale of firearms…even the permissioned guns like machine guns are compulsory sale, it’s just that there is a tax that must be paid first. Thats right: every American has the ability to buy a machine gun (but nobody can afford them as relatively recent laws require special occupation taxes for making new machine guns and old machine guns that exempt from the new laws are in short supply).
