Can you show any evidence for the opposite? Not that your proposing a good standard for comparison. In addition to ignoring issues of liberty, constitutional law, and convenience, you have the fact that people who buy a gun to commit suicide could find some other way to do it. Don't forget, the former always had the police as a backup.... No often they don't. "When seconds count the police are only minutes away..." Also suicides also "have the police as backup" - secure.wikimedia.org I don't think many people buy a gun directly and specifically for, and immediately before, their suicide. If you could come up with some data for that you have to subtract the number that would commit suicide anyway, either after the waiting period or with some other method. Whatever the numbers would be there has not been a massive wave of extra newly purchased gun suicides since instacheck has been established.
