> does reduce the amount of gun-related injuries or deaths though > a decline in firearm deaths and firearm suicides That's... to be expected. I don't think someone needs a college degree to figure that out. The majority of gun injuries and death are self-inflicted [0]. Removing access to firearms just means that people will turn to other means. It's also why suicide rates in the US and Canada are comparable despite the huge disrepectancy in gun availability. South Korea has a much bigger suicide rate than the US and Canada despite having strict gun control. In Canada the Government will grant you the right to commit suicide (yes, you read that right) through the taxpayer funded healthcare system [1].
