I'm just reviewing a manuscript from a large CA healthcare system (10 authors), which finds that over half of those in contact with primary, urgent or mental healthcare professionals in the 6 months prior to their suicide death indicated upon survey that they had no access to firearms. Of those deceased, less than half died by firearms-assisted suicide. Hanging/Suffocation & Poisoning beat Guns 48% to 37%. My conclusion - didn't have a gun so used a rope, poison, etc. No news there... I rejected the manuscript as it's not generalizable outside CA and the journal is in the top 10 national impact index. It'll get published somewhere else to justify the grant spent money and to get more. I'm sure there's a few $Trillion in COVID/Infrastructure tax dollars to help their cause.
So, how's those invasive medical gun questions working out? Not so well...
