Suicide statistics are a red herring in this. There is no correlation between gun ownership rates and suicide rates whatsoever.

There is no correlation between gun ownership rates and suicide rates whatsoever.You seem to have missed the point too. The question isn't whether there is a correlation between suicide rates and gun ownership rates (I've seen no evidence either way.) The question is whether higher gun ownership correlates with higher gun suicide rates. This is plausible but the article gives no statistics.
