Don't be. It's not quite as simple and as rosy as we think.

Yeah, you also have to factor in other stuff besides guns -- taxes for instance. Maybe if you weren't really into guns and lived in one of our large coastal cities, Switzerland would be a significant improvement, but otherwise there's a lot of other stuff you have to figure in for Switzerland, or any other country for that matter, being superior to the US overall freedom-wise.
On a thread veer, it was interesting reading in Hawkmoon's link that the Swiss will forbid citizens of specific countries from buying weapons. Right or wrong, looking at the list, you can get some idea of why those nationalities are proscribed. It would be fun to sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch the show if the US were to ever do such a thing, for instance forbidding Mexican citizens while allowing Canadian citizens to purchase firearms. Of course with our current PC administration, we would probably do the opposite.
