Although total suicide rates in the U.S. are not much higher than in other Western countries

IOW, Americans (actually mostly American men) commit suicide using a gun because one is available. If it were not available, the suicide method would change but probably not the result.

Seriously? I could have sworn that the mere presence of a firearm was all it took to make the final push. They have such hypnotic powers that it’s almost as if they really were alive and not inanimate objects. (sarc switch off) After doing a quick scan of the article, I found the old “you are at a higher risk with a gun in the house” crap in there. As well as blaming the NRA for all the social ills of the country so in the end, just your usual University of kalifornia Riverside researcher who spent a certain amount of tax dollars to tell us..........nothing.
