From the article: "Just 218 suicides, or 3.5 percent, occurred in rural communities. "
Sounds to me like not enough of a sample to be meaningful.
Also sounds like some anti-gun person with an agenda went looking to for another reason to bash guns.
Why are mental health problems always blamed for suicides? I had a friend with ALS who committed suicide. He had zero depression or mental health issues, but he wasn't going to spend the last three months of his life in bed on a respirator. It was a rational and reasonable choice under the circumstances. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
