The gun rights' position that where LACs are restricted, crime increases is generally supported by statistics. There's also the statistical fact that half to two thirds of gun deaths are suicides which, according to gun advocates, would have been executed by other means if guns weren't available. The gun grabber stance is that guns make suicide "too easy" and people are more likely to seek help or have other intervention without them.
Does anyone have any insight to evidence for this? I.e. that suicide rates are just as high in Kalifornia, Chicago, NY, and DC? Crime rate certainly is, but what about suicides?
