No, it doesn't because it completely ignores the very serous regulations that Switzerland imposes, including rationing ammunition and periodic inspections. Typical gun lobby misinformation.

So then, following your line of reasoning, rationing ammo, periodic inspections, training and restrictions will stop mass shootings by clearly insane people? ETA: I think it's much more complex than that.

I'm not sure what you mean by strawman. As far as I can tell one of the main points of the article are the cultural differences. Clarified: I'm not claiming culture is the only or the major factor in gun violence but one of the factors.
