Now im sure that you have all heard that 30k people a year die from gun violence, This number includes decides which account for 60% of these. So that being said Where does America stand in the suicide rates when compare to around the world

 Now remember that Europe is often used as the global (best) standard for gun control so were going to start their first.

If I may add some depth to the issue, to be more accurate, we should also consider methods used because different methods have different success rates. Rates of attempted suicide would also be relevant.

But I do think it is good that this be pointed out. For all our "violent" culture we aren't leading in suicides. Not the best numbers but not the worst either.

Japan's rate is 19.4 per 100,000..  Guns are practically forbidden.
