In a report for 2014 in the National Vital Statistics Report, Montana
has the highest rate of suicide in the nation (251 suicides for a
crude rate of 24.5)

The New Jersey rate is 8.27

So, Montana has 4X the guns but only 3X the suicide rate.
The rate of male suicide in NJ is 29.7, very high compared to the
overall rate in MT though 63% were firearm. American Indians account
for 35% of suicide but are only 6.6% of the population

While firearms are responsible for 55.4% of male suicides and nearly
a third of female suicides nationally in 2014, in New Jersey they
account for 29.7% of male suicides and just under 10% of female
suicides (Figure 4).Â*Â*The percentages of suicides carried out with
firearms decreased in New Jersey from 1999 to 2014 among both females
(46% decrease) and males (24% decrease).

Conclusion: American Indians need better access to mental health
help.



You are a living illustration of Mark Twain's wisdom:

There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies and statistics.


Yeah don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

BTW how is that cite coming on the NYC trash dumping bull**** you
threw out the other day? (and ran away)


Yes, another example of where SwallowBeak has been caught and then
instead of manning up and admitting he's wrong, he runs and hides.
He claimed that up until 1992 NYC was dumping it's trash in the ocean.
He won't respond to me directly anymore because I've caught him too
many times like the above and exposed his lib hypocrisy, where he can only find
fault with Republicans, never a Democrat. Maybe he's a paid shill?
