Only if the claim being made by this study is that these gun regulations would stop suicides or reduce the number of suicides. That is not the case. It is a study that links these gun regulations to gun deaths.
The article says "These three laws could cut US gun deaths by 90%, study says" meaning gun deaths in general, not just homicides. The article also mentions suicide. So when he article is proposing that three anti-2nd amendment laws could cut US gun deaths by 90% it is also talking about suicides.
Three laws could cut US gun deaths by 90%, study says | Ars Technica
The study, published in the The Lancet, tried to tease apart the independent effects that 25 state gun control laws implemented in various states in 2009 had on firearm related deaths (including homicides and suicides) between 2008 and 2010.
As for using a study to propose more "anti-2nd amendment" laws, well no ****. The point is to reduce gun violence in America. Targeting firearms in a reasonable and constitutional manner while significantly reducing gun violence is a worthwhile goal.
Those proposals violate the 2nd amendment.
