SWISS MISS GUN POLICY'S TRAGIC BLOWBACK

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

An affluent nation where guns are everywhere worries about its suicide
rate. But it's not the United States. It's Switzerland.

Guns are omnipresent in the Alpine country - estimates run to at least
one for every three of its 7.5 million inhabitants. Many are stored in
attics, a legacy of Switzerland's famed policy of arming its men to
defend its neutrality -- which has helped the country avoid the need for
a large standing army but flooded it with weapons.

"Compared to countries abroad, a large number of suicides involve
firearms . . . and that's of course because it is easier to get hold of
guns here," said Boris Banga, a socialist member of Parliament who wants
stricter laws.

The Swiss suicide rate stands at 19.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, according
to a 2005 study, well above the global average of 14.5 and the European
Union's 14.1.
