   	That's probably the most important reason for the extreme   
   difference.   
   	The Swiss State does background checks and psych and medical   
   evaluations on ALL it's citizens.   
   	I would have thought those numbers would be higher. Psychotics   
   make up a little over 1% of a population. Which would be almost   
   100.000 people (half of which would be male). They are probably exempt   
   from military service, and hence also not allowed to own guns.   
   	Stop the loony's "right to buy guns" and the problem   
   disappears.
