Switzerland distributes a lot of firearms, particularly through their mandatory military service. But Switzerland also very tightly controls the supply of ammunition for all of those firearms they issue.

Uhm not really, I have multiple family members which store quite a bit of ammunition at home and while noone might get them by accident you could easily get the guns and the ammo if you wanted to.

Controlling supplies doesn't mean they can't get some, just that they had to jump through quite a few hoops to get it.

What hoops? Being 18? Not having psychological issues, not having been in serious legal trouble before? That's about it.

The issue the USA has is how they treat weapons, as toys, not as deadly tools we can appreciate and yet should respect and only handle safely.
