"people who buy a gun to commit suicide could find some other way to do it."

People who buy a gun to kill could find some other way to do it also.....

Person committing suicide with a gun doesn't get a chance to change his mind....

I have personally known or knew of first hand, 9 suicides:

4 gun
1 cyanide
1 overdose
2 by hanging
1 self immolation

"I don't think many people buy a gun directly and specifically for, and immediately before, their suicide."

The last gun suicide I knew drove himself over the MASS border to the first town in Vermont, bought a gun on the spot and killed himself nearby.

And I personally don't think there is anything in the constitution that gives an individual unbridled access to guns.....
