Guns and suicide

[The Valkyrie]

It has been sayed for a lot of times already, it is not that guns make people want to commit suicide, it is about the easiness of commiting suicide using a gun. 

If you really want to have a discussions about this using statistics, you should use statistics about failure rate. And even then it is clear that using a gun to commit suicide has a higher rate of succes than let's say hanging.

I only know one person (personally) who offed themself with a firearm. I know two people who did it (a 15 year old girl - neighbor and a 35 year old housewife) - by sticking their head in a plastic bag.

Seems there's more plastic bags than guns...

Yes.

And now there’s a huge backlash against plastic bags because we realise they’re bad.
