Any actual proof of this?

I recall a study of Israeli soldiers, who had a high suicide rate. When the rules were changed to bar soldiers from taking their service weapons home on weekends, the suicide rate fell by 40%.
Guns are uniquely quick and efficient, and lend themselves well to "impulse" suicides. If you want to cite some NRA-financed study to the contrary, go right ahead. But it seems like common sense to me.
Mind you, I'm not trying to take your guns away. But in your zeal to defend these killing devices, recognize that there is a rational argument for never having one anywhere near one's home and family.
