Funny comparison, but very tonedeaf. The lack of gun legislation here causes thousands of children's deaths every year. It's the leading cause of death for kids, beating out suicide and cancer.
Yes, the article humorously highlights the problem, but it doesn't make awful, unfair comparisons to places where the problem doesn't exist.
Be better, please.
One could also say that Switzerland is a good example for the requirements of safe gun ownership:
Free healthcare, state controlled gun ranges and gun education, mental healthcare.
