Gun control and suicide in Ontario
PJ Carrington and S Moyer
Department of Sociology, University of Waterloo, Ont., Canada.
To assess the impact of the 1978 Canadian gun control law on suicide rates
in Ontario, the authors compared firearm and nonfirearm suicide rates for
1965-1977 with those for 1979-1989. There was a decrease in level and trend
over time of firearm and total suicide rates and no indication of
substitution of other methods. These decreases may be only partly due to
the legislation.
