It doesn't make sense to use suicide rates as a basis for reducing anything but suicide rates. I mean really, if one is of a mind to kill oneself, is one really thinking, "I'm gonna kill myself, but only if I can do it by gunshot."? I'm sure there are some folks who felt that way prior to killing themselves, but it's hard for me to imagine that is how/what a lot of suicide victims thought of the matter.
