suicide by firearm is roughly half of all suicides. I'm not naive to think those who chose firearm with one handy, wouldn't choose a rope or battery acid if a gun wasn't available. Hell, one of my brother's high school friends had several guns to choose from, but chose to drink battery acid instead.
Having 21K more rope deaths might be progress to the likes of Bloomberg, but it isn't to me, and I don't think it is to you either.
