Also, this percentage does NOT reflect the percentage of actual assault rifles in Canada, vrs Switzerland. Perhaps we can look at it by type, since assault rifles seem to be the "big evil" that the media is hyping right now.
(even though 98% of gun-related crimes are commited with handguns)

The Swiss follow a strict set of rules. to come back to your original point..
The highest number of guns per resident in Europe: Switzerland, Finland, Norway, France and Austria.
The highest rate of firearm related deaths....the exact same five.
Accessibility and ease of use is everything there is no denying it, having said that being coddled by a nanny society that tries to eliminate all danger bores me to death, I'd rather keep the guns.
