    The issue with that logic is correlation doesn’t equal causation…you just need to look at japan. The country with pretty much the hardest gun control, has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

      The point you’re missing is if Japan had lax gun laws they would have more suicides. Not sure if you’re slow to catch on or just obstinate.

        That’s not how correlation works at all. By that same logic you’re stating that without guns here, then all of our suicides by firearms wouldn’t happen at all, and people wouldn’t try something else.
