| Normchacho said: On top of that, an annalysis of 15 studies done by the Annals of Internal Medicine found that men with acess to guns are 4 times as likely to commit suicide, or be murdered, than men who don't have acess to guns. Women, were 3 times as likely. |
I do want to point out that this is a bit of an unhelpful statistic. Correlation vs causality and all that. I doubt that owning a gun makes one more likely to feel suicidal. However, feeling suicidal may influence someone's decision to purchase a gun...
