Part of the problem is sheer numbers. Switzerland has a population of around 8 million, the US over 300 million. You are more likely to get a smaller group in a tighter geographic area to agree on principles like mental health care and gun control than you can in the vast expanse of a continent where you have countless regions vying for their own agenda.
