3. Is it true that in Switzerland: “gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept”?

And, if so, is it because the Swiss are opposed to gun ownership and gun possession?

Or is it because the Swiss have not exported their jobs to foreign countries, and the Swiss take care of their own?
