Its not "conflation". Its recognition that background-checks, and delays, should reduce gun-violence AND cut back on suicides.

- Ichthypresbyter 4y agoI'm not sure how much of an effect they would have on suicides. This may just be my stereotypical mental image, but I suspect that a lot of gun suicide victims have owned the gun in question for a long time, in which case a waiting period wouldn't help any more than a waiting period to buy a car would stop people driving off bridges. Are there any numbers on how many people commit suicide with guns they bought in the last 6 months of their life?
