      @GidMK @EchoesErrant @doritmi ~900 or so accidents with f/a. The rest self inflicted suicides which would find another method.

      Where is your evidence that suicides would 'find another method'? @Steven_Swenson @EchoesErrant @doritmi

      @GidMK @EchoesErrant @doritmi Suicide is elastic. It is a goal usually planned. Other nations have equal or higher overall suicide w/o guns

      Generally suicides prefer a specific method, and when that is removed you see the rate drop. @Steven_Swenson @EchoesErrant @doritmi

      There's also evidence that it is a situational choice and changing the environment reduces rate. @Steven_Swenson @EchoesErrant @doritmi

      @GidMK @EchoesErrant @doritmi However it remains true that other Countries w/o guns per capita exist with higher rates.

          @GidMK @EchoesErrant @doritmi Try using your own eyes and raw data in the world. Instead of taking someone else's word for it.
