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 |
There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
