Guns and suicide

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I see lots of self congratulation - which  seems odd - considering a total lack of an answer to the question ---

With such easy access to firearms, why isn't Israel's suicide rate much higher than Japan's?

Could it POSSIBLY be that there is no correlation between firearm ownership and suicide rates? (Unlike what the anti- gun crowd has been spewing for years).

Sorry, I have to ask:  Where and by who is this argument being made?

Somebody pushed his rant button. C. 1983, from all appearances.
