Seems you don't know how to read your own chartSuicide attempts would remain attempts if the lethality of means available were reduced.
No they would just find another way to kill themselves.
Half of all suicides are committed without guns
Thanks for your Amateur opinion.
Here is an informed one:
View attachment 247956
That is for the lethality of suicide attempts by the method chosen not the number of suicides
Half of all suicides are committed without guns
MY point is…
Suicide attempts would remain attempts if the lethality of means available were reduced.
82% of attempts by gun are successful.
Fewer guns means fewer dead people.
For most of us, that’s a good thing.
that's an assumption.
anyone who really wants to commit suicide will succeed.
That part is true.
However, the point stands the 8 out of 10 who try with a gun don’t get a chance to contemplate their life choices ….. fewer deaths is a good thing for most of us. For others? Well, you tell us.
