People don't commit suicide because of guns.
Guns don't cause suicides. They make it easier for people to commit suicide rather than seeking help. And saying that people will just find other means for suicide is not correct - check the statistics.
1) While that is true, Japan has no guns and IIRC highest suicide rate in the first world, again not a simple problem so no simple solution.
2) I am not concerned with suicides in the least, protecting people from themselves is not a good enough reason to diminish the rights of others.
Japan has a different cultural attitude towards suicide.
Suicide prevention is not about protecting people from themselves. And you should be concerned about suicide - aside from the emotional damage it causes, it has significant economic costs to society.
