Yet gun related deaths in the US are still MUCH higher than other countries[1].
22,938 (76%) are by suicide which can't be prevented by gun laws.
I beg to differ. Gun laws that reduce the number of firearms in homes, and/or reduce the number of guns sold to those with mental health issues, would almost certainly reduce suicide rates. A gun is a dangerously quick, easy, and effective method that sits in the closets of many Americans.

- vorpalhex 7y agoYet the US suicide rate is very comparable to European nations and countries like Korea and Japan lead in suicides.
