First off, the "researcher" is David Hemenway, who has been taking money from the Joyce Foundation for nearly two decades to churn out biased "studies."

Yes, we have more firearm suicides than other countries because we have more firearms. To be fair, let's look at the suicide rates from all causes. We have fewer suicides per capita than just about any other first-world country. That includes many countries that supposedly have a higher standard of living than ours.
