So. We are paranoid to worry about them confiscating our guns, are we?

Suicide rates depend on cultural factors that really have nothing to do
with the means available to commit suicide with. For example, Japan
(where they go for the bridge-and-train method) has a much higher
suicide rate than the US, Canada is about the same as the US, and Mexico
is much lower than the US.

Bullshit.  Suicide is often a decision contemplated at a low; and the convenience of a ready mechanism for such encourages acting on that decision immediately.  Death by gas in Britain being a text book example.  As coal gas was phased out and replaced by natural gas, suicide by coal gas (highly convenient - the classic head in the oven) fell to zero; and overall suicides were reduced by a third.

That said, I would prefer they do so by shooting themselves in their home
than by jumping off a bridge in front of a commuter train during rush
hour--it's just more considerate.

Your empathy stands as a shining beacon in the dark - not unlike the eye of Sauron..
