Oh right, suicide. But wouldn't at least a portion of those suicides still be suicides without guns?

  Not successful ones. The issue with not having an available loaded gun is that you have to plan your death.

    Obtaining a gun is planning in the exact same way walking to the top of a roof or grabbing a fist full of pills is planning.

      Raking a fistful of pill fail often, with little consequences (unlike a bullet, who might fail but consequences are painful). Jumping is rare, the only case I know of was someone with bone cancer who suffered a lot (I'm kinda remember her but I was very young when she died). Bullets are a common way to go for people with hunting background. There is a reason why 'revolving credits' were called 'revolver credits' in my area before they were basically outlawed (I'm from the countryside).

        People do kill themselves with guns, nobody was debating that...
