What does suicide have to do with anything? It's not like those people wouldn't have killed themselves without a gun. They would have found another way to do it. Suicide =/= homicide. |
You didn't read the article did you!
Quote:
"Given that 95 percent of gun-related deaths are either suicides or homicides, public health researchers have come to the reasonable conclusion that in homes where guns are kept, there is a much greater likelihood that someone in the home will be killed by a gunshot either through suicide or homicide.
Studies have also indicated that in homes where a suicide has occurred, a gun was three to five times more likely to be present in the home than in a home that did not have a suicide, even after factoring in all other risks."
