Fully illegal = lots of murders. Fully legal = lots of suicides.

  With drugs, perhaps. But even there, if you count overdoses as suicides, which I largely do, it’s still mainly that. Illegal gambling is probably a precursor to 100x as many suicides as murders. It’s not even close. Murders happen but not a lot. And almost everywhere has plenty of legal gambling. All that’s been changed is you can gamble on one more thing and not violate federal law. State law still applies.
