If you are talking about Guns per Capita, Canada and Switzerland don't have similar gun ownership levels as the U.S. In fact no country comes close to America.

In America, there are 112 guns owned per 100 people. So as statistics go, there is more guns in circulation than there are people living in the U.S.

The next country below the U.S is Serbia and it drops to 58 guns per 100 people.

As for immunity, I don't think it plays in to it, Canada laws are more up to date. Don't know about the Swiss. But it's no wonder the U.S has issues with the level of gun ownership it has.
