Both are bad. Both are symptoms of socio-economic problems.

Do you think eliminating firearms would eliminate suicide?

I said nothing about eliminating firearms. But they need the same type of
control applied to driving automobiles.

Oh well, it'll never happen here in John Wayne country.

When Britain used coal gas sticking your head in an oven was a popular
method; q.v.  Sylvia Plath. After the transition to natural gas, which does
not have a carbon monoxide component, the suicide rate did not go down.

Quite well? An odd turn of phrase.

Then there is the elephant in the room the politically correct would
rather ignore. Subtract out POCs killing each other and the homicide rate
looks very similar to Canada or western European countries.

If true, so what? Again, look at socio-economics and crowding.
