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 |
Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
