Common methods of suicide [ in Japan ] are jumping in front of trains, leaping off high places, hanging, or overdosing on medication.
A newer method, gaining in popularity partly to publicity from Internet suicide websites, is to use household products to make the poisonous gas hydrogen sulfide.
If you've got a cite that shows that the presence of a gun increases the chance of suicide, I'd like to see it.
Of course, correlation != causation.
Lots of suicidal people buy guns. When they can't get guns, they use other methods.
Japan's suicide rate is twice the US's, despite Japan's strict gun control.
