If you click on the map, it will give you more details (and you can also download a sortable table). The number of people killed by firearms in Switzerland is 0.77/100,000 people. Right between Lebanon and Turkey. Switzerland is actually one of the worst countries in Europe.

For comparison:

France = 0.06/100,000
Israel = 0.09/100,000
Cuba = 0.26/100,000
Finland = 0.45/100,000
Canada = 0.51/100,000
Uganda = 0.87/100,000
Sri Lanka = 1.48/100,000
Sierra Leone = 2.28/100,000
West Bank and Gaza = 2.95/100,000
USA = 2.97/100,000
Mexico = 9.97/100,000
South Africa = 17.03/100,000
Columbia = 27.09/100,000
Honduras = 68.52/100,000

The Middle East and Asia seems to have a lot of incomplete data though.
