‘Often impulsive acts’

“Suicide attempts are often impulsive acts, driven by transient life crises,” the authors write. “Most attempts are not fatal, and most people who attempt suicide do not go on to die in a future suicide. Whether a suicide attempt is fatal depends heavily on the lethality of the method used — and firearms are extremely lethal. These facts focus attention on firearm access as a risk factor for suicide especially in the United States, which has a higher prevalence of civilian-owned firearms than any other country and one of the highest rates of suicide by firearm.”

That’s literally stating that suicides by firearms are more successful…NOT that they cause people to commit suicide more.

I’ll say it again, correlation doesn’t equate causation.

It’s not my problem you are incapable of understanding studies that have an agenda.
