Rifles that US citizens are not allowed to own under current already existing law, found in the majority of Swiss homes!! Yet, one doesn't hear about much violence in Switzerland.
Because the demographics of Switzerland are a lot different than here. Switzerland, like Portugal, most of Scandinavia, and similar locales are fairly homogeneous in their racial/ethnic/religious/cultural makeup

So do I, Justin, and knee-jerk emotion-based "do-good" irrational laws are at the top of my list..........along with the elected folks who propose and support them.
