I've done a lot of research on this stuff over the years, and I helped compile some of the data used in the vaunted FBI stats for many years. One issue that is never considered in firearms deaths and injuries is whether or not the firearm is legally procured, owned and possessed. As with drugs, all the laws in the world aren't going to stop someone who won't follow the law in the first place. In most of Europe it's very hard to legally obtain a firearm, yet firearms violence in Europe is fairly common. Even good old Canada, where everyone is friendly and just wants beer and hockey, firearms violence with banned or illegal guns happens on a regular basis. While I'm all for personal responsibility and reducing the incidence of violence across the board, the only people that will obey stricter gun laws are the people who aren't the problem int he first place!
As far as suicide, it doesn't matter if there's no gun in the home. There are drugs, cars, ropes and belts, plastic bags, water, electricity, knives, fire, etc, etc, etc. It's funny that in an era where we see various nations moving to assisted suicide and where we kill babies at unprecedented rates, we're going to worry about stopping a manic depressive with cancer from offing himself?
