beeevul: Except that it is intended to imply that there is a large problem where none exists. Wyoming with its whole 109 suicides. Montana with its 180. Alaska with its 124.
Overall, the statistics show an equally distinct correlation between low population and suicide rates in states.


Nah nah nah, that's BS, you don't have a cogent argument again. Delaware, RI, & NHamp, & Hawaii are low populated states, and rank relatively low in gun ownership rates and relatively low in Firearm suicide rates. Wyoming Alaska & Montana are in an opposite way.
Also, look at the high HH gun ownership rates from #5 thru #20, all progun states excepting minnesota & perhaps wisconsin. Your hypothesis collapses. Care to revise & play again? or will you go into a coma?

(sorry, couldn't get rid of the duplicate, dunno why either):
