More people die from suicide than war and natural disasters combined.

[CarveTheFive]

This only anecdotal but I could see myself grabbing a loaded gun on impulse and blam more than taking the time to figure out how to hang myself or whatever. I also don’t think suicide is easy to pull off. I’m against gun control (unless the government disarms first) so I’m not making a case for gun control HOWEVER plain horse sense tells me having a convenient method laying around increases the likelihood of doing it. Frankly, there’s not a statistic available that could cause me to change my mind and it’s impossible to have a control group anyway.
