      The progressive narrative about guns, law enforcement & incarceration does not really make room for the fact that gun homicide deaths in America are vastly lower than they were 25 years ago.

      But not suicide. Moreover, the decline of the homicide rate by firearms isn’t an argument against gun control regulation as long as the US is, by far, the highest in the advanced world.

      Suicide is mostly not a matter of firearms, and not at all a matter of rifles or magazine capacity or other current topics of government action. On homicide, the trendline says more about what can be changed by government than does the underlying rate.

          Pretty sure licensing would lower the rate—that’s the evidence we have so far. Rhetoric of futility arguments such as this are not often persuasive by themselves. As for suicide, difficult to argue that the rate wouldn’t decline too—its often an event of spontaneity.

          If we confiscated cars there would be less car accidents as well. 👍

          @baseballcrank Over 50% of suicides are by gun. Only about 6% of unsuccessful suicide attempts are by gun. “Suicide is mostly not a matter of guns” is an asinine statement.

          Japan has a higher suicide rate than the US despite having almost no guns. Other countries, too. It’s absolutely not a matter of guns.

          @baseball Access to a gun makes a quick decision by a mentally unstable person so much easier. Discounting suicides by gun is ridiculous. All deaths are bad.
