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 most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
