7. Okay, take it easy, I do not think that you believe guns are the only way to go.

As you clearly state in your opening sentence,

"Oh but they'll only use a different method if we take guns away cry the pro gun side."
I agree entirely with what you are saying.

Some suicide attempts are a cry for help; it is certain that those attempts do not choose a firearm, a tall bridge, a speeding train, a massive fatal overdose. You can believe that it takes less determination for a person to shoot oneself than it does for that same person to die by a countless number of other methods - that is where I think your reasoning fails.
