In the United States we commit suicide more often then we commit homicide.
Whether we have guns or not, this is not going to change.

True, someone with a deep seated and determinded desire to kill themselves will find a way.
But the numbers suggest is that people who have a gun are more likely to kill themselves after a sudden depression or while drunk. Many people attempt to kill themselves but don't really intend to go through with it but if you pull the triger there is no turning back and compared to other methods of killing yourself its relatively easy.
