Chicago Tribune: Firearm-Suicide Correlation Debunked.
A great article from Steve Chapman at the Chicago Tribune that debunks the so-called public health link between firearms and suicide rates.
Read it here.
Best quote:

Buying a car may shorten your lifespan, since traffic accidents are a major killer. Building a backyard swimming pool creates a potential fatal hazard to you and your loved ones. But nobody says the government should interfere with such decisions.
