Very, very, very few people are talking about gun control in the context of suicides. And I'd have more sympathy for the argument if physician-assisted suicides weren't on many progressive wishlists.
The link you sent dealt with a few hundred cases, which is hardly a powerful enough dataset to negate what we already know about human nature & institutions & how both behave.

Again, that's everyone who has requested PAS from Oregon during the 20 years since the law was enacted. It's hard to see how it could have been *more* powerful.
