Yikes the old 8 million times more likely to commit suicide if there's a (gasp) gun in the house canard. Well, they did mention belts. Those intent on suicide will do it regardless. It's called MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES for a reason. If Robin Williams had only been denied belts he'd probably still be alive today. Or not. Say, didn't some other brilliant person attend Hah-vahd that we all know?

The Harvard School of Public Health has been little more than a tool of the gun-ban movement for decades.

Higher rates of successful suicide attempts are no reason to ban guns. The right to keep and bear arms is a natural right. However, if your friend or spouse is clinically depressed and/or suicidal it makes good sense to limit easy access to firearms. Removing the firing pins works well.

I have lost 2 friends in my life to suicide by gun. One was only 14 years old. The other was 43. One other is alive today because his wife was concerned about his depression and talk of how his family would be better off without him. At her request I removed the firing pin from his handgun. After a failed suicide attempt scared some sense into him he sought treatment and has now recovered from his depression.
