The gun debate

So now we are blaming guns for suicides? A person hell bent on killing themselves isn't going to decide not to do it if their method of choice isn't immediately handy, they are either going to wait to acquire the items to execute their method of choice or switch to plan B.

While firearms are used in half of suicides, suffocation and poisoning account for the next 40%. There is no correlation between the availability of guns to the suicide rate, that one is easy to look up.
