80% of gun deaths in Utah suicide From 2000 to 2015 suicide rate in Utah has gone up 51% Utah has no law imposing a waiting period prior to the purchase of a firearm which could help stop this epidemic.
According to a study conducted by Harvard researchers “Between 1970 and 2014, 43 states had waiting period laws in place for at least 1 year. The researchers compared guns per capita homicide rates in states with and without the laws over the same time periods.
They found that states with mandatory waits—no matter the total length—had on average 17% fewer murders and about 10% fewer suicides.”http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/10/gun-waiting-periods-could-save-hundreds-lives-year-study-says …
Keep fighting the fight little brother! I lost my older brother to suicide and my father in law, both with guns! ;( keep it up! #theyoungpeoplewillwin
Usually suicide is impulsive. A waiting period can give some people time to rethink what they're doing. It isn't a total solution, but still significant. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/mar/24/doug-jones/yes-waiting-periods-gun-purchases-have-been-linked/ …

I personally know of two Utahns that have succumbed to this disease in the last couple of years. While the Dickey Amend is gone, we still can't get Congress to fund effective CDC research.
Trying to stop deaths is never wrong.
