suicide & guns

——————————————————————————–
See Gary Kleck’s “Point Blank: Guns and violence in
America.”
Chapter 6, Guns and Suicide. Page 223 – 268.
Here’s Dr. Ed Suter’s comment: “As Kleck’s review of the
broad expanse of American and cross-cultural suicide literature
shows, even if guns instantly evaporated from the U.S., universal
access to nearly equally effective and accessible means of
suicide–hanging, auto exhaust, drowning, and leaping–would
likely interfere with an overall reuction in suicide.”
