The three states with the highest percentage of household gun ownership - Alaska, Wyoming and Montana - also had the three highest suicide rates.

Huge coincidence, I'm sure, those three ultra low population states.

This gobblygook is intended to imply causation where only correlation exists, while conveniently leaving out raw numbers which paint a starkly different picture than the claims author wishes to paint.

With anti-gunner seal of approval, no less.
