its on the 4473

stupid chart makers

cops have an exemption though

because they beat the fuck out of their wives

we have that here, what actually happens is that they call your gf/waifu and ask them if they're ok with a gun in the house. If they say no you don't get the gun licence and they don't tell you that your wife snitched

other than minorities shooting each other, I believe that husbands murdering their wives costs the highest number of gun deaths, so it's a good policy probably

nah its guys shooting themselves

well yeah that's woke and true, but I meant violent crime deaths

they didn't ask me if I was suicidal though, it would probably be a stupid question

Does having a firearm in the house make the suicidal thoughts more common? Asking for a friend

not for me no, I don't have suicidal thoughts that often

when I do I just tell myself that suicide is degenerate and a waste of a life

why would I cut off 60+ years of human experience just because I feel depressed rn

no I would say that if you are suicidal having a gun in the house isn't good

just because it's easier to shoot yourself than most other forms of suicide

Tried out a lot of different methods, have you?

Who needs a gun when you have opiates?

Also about guns and suicide

The presence of a gun may or may not increase the frequency of suicidal thoughts in people already depressed, and it really depends on the individual

For many people with depression knowing they have easy access to a means of ending their lives makes them more likely to think about it

The real reason why guns are so insanely dangerous for suicidal people is because firearm suicide has an almost 100% success rate

Drug overdose, the most commonly tried method, has a success rate of around 3%

Slitting the wrists has a success rate of 7%

Even hanging, which is one of the most dangerous suicide methods, still has a 77% success rate

Meaning you have a 23% chance of surviving being hanged

Firearm suicides, however, have a near-100% success rate (99% for shotguns, 98% for rifles, and 95% for pistols)

Many gun activists say "guns don't make people suicidal so this isn't an issue"

And that's true, they don't

But for someone who _is_ suicidal, a gun makes it really damn easy

And given that in the US around 1 in 8 people suffer from chronic depression, having an easily accessible firearm makes that a massive risk

This is especially the case because the demographic most likely to own firearms (middle-aged white men) are also the demographic most prone to suicide

Suicide isn't a bad thing

In countries where firearms aren't as easily accessible, including third-world countries where the rate of depression is significantly higher (1 in 5 as opposed to 1 in 8), the suicide rate is significantly lower

Suicide is bad

When you die you get isekaied into a fantasy world with an op strenght
