I agree that it's the culture that makes the guns so dangerous. The "cowboy" culture, if you must. People are more carefree and less concerned to pull the trigger. Switzerland, it seems, has a completely different form of culture, which I've heard from various people who visited there. Everybody abided by the law, it seems, and not surprisingly: Swiss tradition such as the infamous Swiss bank is long considered to be rigid and effective in their "business."

That's why people who asks for guns to be removed from USA's citizens' hands have more legitimate reasons to do so than those who demand simillar things in Switzerland.
