The point there beingthat everyone with a gun is trained soldier who is legally obliged to undertake a certain amount of training each month. They aren't just any Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to own a gun. (edit - sorry this pretty much mirrors the last paragraph of your comment, I didn't read it properly)
They do have a lower crime rate, but I don't think you can just attribute that to the number of guns, Switzerland is a very wealthy country with high education levels, which I'm sure plays a fairly strong role.
Also, on an unrelated note, they are very behind everything being Swiss being better, so if a shop sells Swiss tomatoes at a higher price then imported tomatoes, many people will buy the Swiss ones, just because they are Swiss.
