(16,038 posts)Are you still claiming, "gun use increases the suicide rate"?
If so I will leave you in your fog of brady lies...
A good share of people who "attempt suicide" have absolutely no intention at all of accomplishing suicide. They use methods which are easy to miss with like OD, ineffective wrist slashing, etc. They are crying out for help, suffering from some mental illness, or attention grabbing. People who shoot themselves in the head intend to kill themselves every time, unlike those methods mentioned above.
The country with the highest suicide rate in the world is a gun free society. Zero are gun suicides. So yes, only complete idiots believe that removing one tool will have any effect at all on suicide numbers. Further, if an adult chooses to end their life, who are you to tell them they can't use the most effective tool to accomplish that?
Keep dreaming and pretending and maintaining status quo. Guns are not going anywhere, as long as that is true you and other gun control advocates can avoid the actual causes of murder and suicide.
