    "Shall not be infringed" also applies to the states.

    Again, countries with far more restrictive gun laws have higher rates of suicide. It doesn't correlate that more guns equal more or fewer suicides. There is a forest in Japan that is notorious for being a place people go to commit suicide. It has a patrol group that checks on people in tents camping in the forest to see if they are intending offing themselves. The same patrol group is tasked with retrieving bodies. They kill themselves by hanging, by pills, by cutting, by diving off cliffs, and other methods. A person who wants to die will find a way.

    Although suicide rates are not directly correlative to firearm ownership there is one suicide related statistic that IS

    Familicide
