I believe i read that the reason it's so high is because of mandatory military service, and servicemen take their guns home with them?

If that's the sole reason, then it isn't that different from the US. In times of war, there is mandatory military service of sorts. Reasonably, that'd mean that the best idea in terms of gun ownership would be to make it optional, but have mandatory gun training classes and concealed carry permits. It'd be like what my high school did with regards to CPR and first aid.

it's technically mandatory military service but basically the deal with switzerland is that they're normal citizens until they're needed. it's like pretrained drafting
after all the swiss' whole schtick is that they are the worlds greatest all-purpose defense
