Here's a bit of research on the suicide thing: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/fi...rship-and-use/
I've personally known 4 people that committed suicide.....none of them shot themselves. They all hung themselves.

Suicide is more prevalent where depression is......not where more guns are.

Suicides by guns are more prevalent where guns are......because it's convenient.

If someone wants to commit suicide they will do it.
