When coal gas ovens went out of style, suicide rates plummeted. Ovens don't kill people, people kill people.

It's almost as if making inanimate objects that can kill more difficult to get reduces the rate of death.

I've seen a keynote speech from a former president of the CHMA who said that any inconvenience someone who wants to commit suicide experiences drastically reduces their desire to actually kill themselves.

By reducing the opportunity for gun violence would reduce gun violence.

The question is: is society cool with gun violence as the opportunity cost to have a prevalent gun culture?
