Total suicides per 100K: (2015 data)

Not to mention, half of all suicides in the USA are by firearm.

For many people, suicide is an impulsive reaction to immediate
situations. Firearms facilitate such impulsivity. Pull it out of
the night table, put in mouth, pull trigger. Quick and easy.

What a great TV commercial for Sig Sauer or Glock, unless of course
they were to show before and after pictures.



Great logic except Japan has a rate of 15.4 per and virtually zero
guns.


Irrelevant, Japan is a completely different society, one that has
condoned suicide for a millenia, or longer.

The UK and USA share far more societal commonalities than the USA and
Japan.

Are you saying American society is the same as UK, Sweden or any of
the other "red herrings" you puke up?
If so why is their non-gun murder rate lower than ours too?
