Yes, and what the Swiss have gained from that is the highest ratio in the world of men killing their families and then blowing their own brains out

A study by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), which examined murders in cantons Vaud, Fribourg, Valais and Neuchâtel since 1980, shows that this phenomenon is particularly acute in Switzerland.

It found that family killings account for 58 per cent of all murders ? a figure substantially higher than in the Netherlands (29 per cent) and the United States (20 per cent).
