Not at all, Albert. Suicide attempts that fail are fairly common, and
often times the person does not repeat the effort. With guns its Bang!
and its all over.

So you agree that banning guns would not reduce the number of suicides. It would just make death more painful and prolonged.

I think the research shows that darkness and cold are the factors for
many of these suicides. A gun is just easier.

It's also interesting to see how many of the gun deaths were
suicides. In Alaska it's the largest percentage of the total by
far. I guess the assumption is that if you don't have a gun you
can't kill yourself. Albert
