One is a choice by an individual the other is an infringement and act of 
aggression by a another person. 

Do you think eliminating firearms would eliminate suicide? When Britain 
used coal gas sticking your head in an oven was a popular method; q.v. 
Sylvia Plath. After the transition to natural gas, which does not have a 
carbon monoxide component, the suicide rate did not go down.

The same question could be asked about homicides. The Brits seem to do 
quite well with knives and clubs.

Then there is the elephant in the room the politically correct would 
rather ignore. Subtract out POCs killing each other and the homicide rate 
looks very similar to Canada or western European countries.
