Suicide is unfortunately everywhere due to the fact that many have lost their self worth and it is an easy way out. Why are the suicides in Switzerland mainly by firearms? Well very logic as just about each and every household has a gun. The Swiss army makes its soldiers take their guns home! Army duty is compulsory in Switzerland. When a boy gets to the age of 18 he goes to the recrute school. Then he goes home and takes his gun home with him. Then until the age of retirement he goes back to serve the army for many times. Each time, when he is not in the army, he has his gun & bullets at home. Now they are not supposed to use their guns for private business. This used to be some kind of honor thing in the old days. The army gun was kind of sacred! But morals have changed. Also I think if you are desperate and you have this gun & bullets available it would be easy to use.
