Anyone who's done the slightest bit of research into suicide knows that, while men are three times more likely to actually kill themselves than women, women are three times more likely than men to try. And part of why this is is because men are more likely to shoot themselves, because they're more likely to actually have guns to shoot themselves with.
You can' t drive to work if you don't have a car.
If a guy is planning on offing himself and he doesn't have a gun - he will go get one - or step off the high building.
Simply having a gun isn't an indicator of suicidal intent.
Are you even trying to engage with what I wrote? I never said that owning a gun was an indicator of suicidal intent, I said that men tend to be more likely than women to own guns, so if/when they do have suicidal thoughts, they’re more likely to have a gun handy to ensure that they kill themselves.
Seriously, despite the far right pushing the NPC meme, it looks like you’re the one who’s acting like they’re just a bot with an AI made up of right-wing talking points, because I’m fairly certain an actual human being wouldn’t read “men are more likely to complete suicide than women because (at least in part) they’re more likely to own guns” and think I wrote “owning a gun is an indicator of suicidal thoughts.”
