From the studies I'm seeing, limit access to the means of suicide, and you reduce suicides. Do you eliminate them? No, but a reduction is still a reduction.

From the studies I'm seeing, limit access to the means of suicide, and you reduce suicides. Do you eliminate them? No, but a reduction is still a reduction. Note most of the studies I saw were not about guns, but pesticides. I see no reason to think they would not apply similarly. Would be nice to see studies in them. Now, should we /also/ try and tackle more issues down the chain? Yes. Not sure why this has to be a "pick one" scenario.
