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?

Who needs a gun when you have electricity
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
Based heaven
Lmao who cares
Guns are great
Thanks for the effort/longpoast
Anti gun is retarded
Why would anyone be concerned about someone else owning a gun?
