The number of suicides by gun might drop if it were a bit more difficult
and time consuming to buy pistols. In my state, there's a waiting period
that ends up running about 10 days from purchase to approval by the
state police. If you are suicidal and want a gun to end it and you don't
have one, you might change your mind in 10 days.

Not likely. Most people who seriously contemplate suicide, eventually
decide to do it.

You have valid statistics on that?

What exactly, That people who commit suicide have a history of
"gestures"? That is easy, or are you going for something else?

This is all over the news right now because of Mindy McCredy

What, exactly? The percentage of those who contemplate suicide who
actually decide to do it. I'm aware that many at risk of suicide give
signs of it.
