>This is a weak argument, because it implies that by taking guns, people won't commit suicide, when they may just do it by any other method. That argument is correct; a major suicide prevention measure is taking away methods. When countries switched from coal gas to natural gas, suicide rate went down for this reason. Suicide is largely a in-the-moment decision and guns make it very easy to act on it. >Which the high rates of suicide in several other countries with way less gun ownership than in US point to. I don't think that's true, they may just have a different culture that leads to more suicide. Gun ownership isn't the only difference between the USA and other countries.
