Japan has a higher per capita rate of suicide than the US does. Japan has essentially no personally owned firearms. Half of all US suicides are effected with guns. Half of all firearms related deaths in the US are suicides. If firearms were to magically disappear from the US, those who want to kill themselves would simply find other means to do so.

Let’s just make a law against murder and suicide. Oh wait, that’s been done.

It certainly doesn’t reduce government sponsored murder.

First of all, the language used in treatises on guns should be clear. Banning firearms is a phrase that has dubious meaning. It does not mean “banning firearms,” it mean “attempting to ban firearms.”

As I listen to top-of-the-hour ABCNN (and Fox) radio "news" I hear the MSM employees tirelessly report on the calls for gun control. "It's too easy to get guns! Too many guns!"
Yet, other than guns what is a common element in these shootings? Ans: Prescription drugs.
Absolutely, someone taking mind-altering drugs should not be able to legally buy guns. As for illegally buying guns.. well that's why they call them criminals.
What aspect of prescription drugs and guns is not common?
Advertising.
Thus rare mention of the advertisers' products.
Thus once again I must say, most employees of the MSM are skid marks on journalism's shorts.

"Our conclusion from the available data is that suicide, murder and violent crime rates are determined by basic social, economic and/or cultural factors with the availability of any particular one of the worlds myriad deadly instrument being irrelevant" Wow. Imagine that.
