how did they interview the dead guys who killed themselves to get that data?


Are you serious? Like...really? I can think of very, very few scenarios where you would need to interview the victim first hand to determine if they had acess to firearms...


something about the way that is worded is confusing me

like, for example, how can it be determined that the man in question would not have killed himself via another method had he not posssessed a gun?

well we can't ask him because he's dead, therefore, its open to interpretation

so if for instance we want to paint gun owenership as being deviant we can use the interpretation that the gun influenced his decision when he might have been dead set on killing himself anyway
