A swiss permit is as strict as a USA background check.

I'm not even kidding.

You get a permit by not having a relevant criminal record and being of age.

USA background check is to see if you have a relevant criminal record and if you are old enough.

Saaaaaame shit in the end.

USA gun laws vary by state. Even those with the strictest of gun laws still have lots of gun violence.

Disarming your population isn't the answer.
