So suicides in general weren't dramatically affected, only the method differed?

Problem in the US is that the genie is out of the bottle now. Start removing guns by force and the people who are already predisposed to shooting up events, are going to be keeping them AND they'l have affirment for their conspiracy theories so they're even more likely to shoot shit up.

I agree Americans should never have been allowed to buy guns like this, it’s just not a fixable problem right now. Other things need to be fixed first.
