I associate rural activities with increased wellbeing. Living in or visiting nature. I also associate guns with rural activities.
I wonder how those states correlate with gun control.
Suicidal thoughts are often strong but momentary. If there is a gun available, one can take action on the feelings before they pass makeing a momentary thought permanent. Heartbreaking.
So my hypothesis is that the same restrictions on society and or culture that decrease the chance of suicide also reduce wellbeing.

If they aren't doing a daily exercise like running or hiking, the carless urban dweller is getting more daily walking in. I know I certainly did when I lived in Tokyo. It was way more easy getting a gym trip under my belt in Tokyo. I recall reading a study correlating elevation with suicide. It might explain the suicide rates in MT/WY/CO.
