I associate rural activities with increased wellbeing. Living in or visiting nature. I also associate guns with rural activities. I wonder how those states correlate with gun control.

Suicidal thoughts are often strong but momentary. If there is a gun available, one can take action on the feelings before they pass makeing a momentary thought permanent. Heartbreaking.

So my hypothesis is that the same restrictions on society and or culture that decrease the chance of suicide also reduce wellbeing.
