    I have provided the link and quoted the numbers. Stop fucking around because it’s really boring.

    Access to guns certainly makes the suicide rate high. There are other reasons for other countries having higher rates.

      No it does not. Tons of countries where no one has access to firearms still have high suicide rates. You don’t seem to be able to understand statistics.

        You couldn’t read basic stats from a Wiki page so what are you on about?

        Compare similar countries, such as Canada, the UK, EU nations, and other similar OECD nations.
