Switzerland doesn’t have a gun industry saturating the market with guns. Swiss guns are owned by the military, and they have a pretty low population compared to the size of their country.
??
With H&K and SigSauer, Germany and Austria have a sizable gun industry, without the massive shooting problems. Because of the same language, these two companies could easily advertise and lobby in Switzerland.
Swiss pop density is 226 inh/km^2, whereas USs is 41 inh/km^2 and even denser areas like New York state are merely 159 inh/km^2.
I think it’s all policy and very little other factors.

Heckler and Koch, and SigSauer have their biggest manufacturing subsidiary in the United States.
Try again.
Why is that the case? Because the laws create a favourable market, is it not?
Laws that allow consumer market saturation. There are more guns than people in the US due to its arms industry.
