The culture may be similar like most neighbour countries in the world, but not very similar. The mix of natives and immigrants is different.

Switzerland also enforces gun control. You need permission to buy own and carry a gun.

There are crime statistics about Switzerland and in most of these Germany looks similar to Switzerland. Compare it also with Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and you won?t see a connection to gun control.

There are many different circumstances (EU, size of country/cities, social imbalance, politics, ?) that make it impossible to reduce everything to gun ownership.
