well if you want to ignore all that suicide and murder as irrelevant, fair enough.

Switzerland is a nice country to retire to. My dad did.....It has few of the social problems that our two countries have, and any way they're too busy eating chocolate and yodelling. Switzerland is like the poshest suburb of the nicest city in England - Exeter maybe. The two countries aren't really comparable.

However if the present state of affairs in the States with gun ownership being so widespread makes you happy - I wish you and your fellow citizens joy of it.

Personally I hope to God gun ownership in England stays as it is, pretty much just a few farmers, the criminals and the cops.

all my very best wishes.
