Also by the way... the argument isn't so much that guns cause suicides.
It's that guns are more effective at killing you then most other common suicide methods.
You take pills or something, you have some time for an "oh shit!" moment to call 911.
Guns, they kill you right away.
Still, seems like a pretty piss poor reason for banning guns. It's like banning hard liquor because it's easier to drink yourself to death with it then beer. (Then again i suppose that's why moonshine is illegal. Also why moonshine is as popular as it is.)
It's also worth noting, that thanks to guns, the USA has a lot less "hot" home invasions. (1 in 10) In otherwords, in the US it's VERY unlikely you will be robbed if someone is home. Unlike most countries where it's fairly often. (For example in the UK, 4 out of 10 robberies are hot.)
The reason why? In the US, most criminals are actually more afraid of homeowners then they are the police. As such in the US the VAST majority of crimes committed are by people who know you.
In the US, thanks to guns, you're really unlikely to be robbed unless somebody who wants to rob you knows your schedule and knows where you live.
