You betcha. Swiss society is built up on top of local communes, then the cantons, in a very decentralized confederation (CH = Swiss Confederation). The local gendarmes know everybody, and everything. Privacy laws are very different ("we got the Napoleonic Code, STEELLLAAA!)
You know, I looked at a couple of those supposedly "homogenous" countries like Switzerland. Turns out that the Muslim population of Switzerland is 5.1% (about 6 times that of the US), and the main ethnic groups are 65% German, 18% French, and 10% Italian, who all tend to speak their own language, and I assume most speak Swiss. Doesn't sound all that "homogenous" to me. The UK is much more diverse than Switzerland with 4.4% Muslim, 7% Asian, and 3% black, yet once again, no mass shootings.
There's an argument the gun humpers can use, the homeopathy argument!If a lack of guns makes people safe, then we should reduce the amount of lack of guns as much as possible so the result becomes more potent!
Yeah... don't mess with the Swiss. They've got the terrain advantage, the training advantage, and when you get home after your failed invasion you find out they bought your bank and your account has been closed.
Nope. They widened it from four to eight to sixteen lanes to handle the increases in traffic, and it's STILL jammed. They built a parallel six-lane highway a few miles to the north and it didn't help at ALL. It's bloody insane.
Finally: "Is Swiss society racist?" Actually, by American standards, it very much is a racist society. There's no tradition of chattel slavery. But there's almost universal loathing for economic migrants who a lot of the dirty work. Illegal migrants lack many basic rights. Wealthy tourists and rich migrants are tolerated with the strict understanding that they're allowed in only for as they have money to spend. Fugitive dictators can buy their way in, but never become Swiss.
There are 4 official languages in Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Not as 'homogenous' as some 'Merikkan commenters seem to think. (OT but why are Americans on the whole so awful at geography?)
One of my closest friends lives in Switzerland, where in addition to a high rate of gun ownership, they also ban military weapons and gear, high cap magazines, and require serious use and safety training as well as liability insurance. They also have mandatory military service, which entails additional weapons training. But sure, it's because they're all white.
We have our share of idiots in Canada as well, including in government. Just before the 2015 federal election the then Conservative government said it would create a "barbaric cultural practices hotline" if re-elected. They thought promising a harass immigrants hotline was a good way to pick up votes.

Two of her kids are white.
You used 'despite' wrong, I think you meant 'because of'. It wouldn't be that busy with only 2 lanes.

That doesn't prop up their argument, so they conveniently forget to mention it.
Whoa. Nice, but way too complicated for standard gun humpers. Also un-American, because everyone knows MOAR MEANS BETTER.

Just watch where you shake it!

Congrats Fucker Carlson so throwing out the most senseless, stupids questions ever assembled.

Well that and all the rich people's money.
