Untrue.
Studies have determined that when firearms are removed, the suicide rate at first plummets, but then ascends again and briefly rises higher than the initial rate, only then to recede back to where it was prior to the gun removal.
Suicides may delay their act until they decide upon a new method to kill themselves, but they are NOT cured by gunlaws. Anyone with common sense will realize the law doesn't treat the psychopath that causes suicide!
IMO, there is good reason to keep suicide separate from other violence. |

| "Psychopath" in my last sentence above should read "psychopathy." |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
