Sure, countries with more guns have more gun related deaths; but,
don't forget, two thirds of them are suicides,
86% of which are male, usually 45+ years old.

And apart from the mess someone has to hose away,
its a quite effective way of committing suicide.

What if they didn't have guns ?
wouldn't they find another way ?

Corse they would and do in the countrys that have taken guns away.

In US the suicide rate is higher in households with guns, same in
Australia

Hardly surprising given that its such an effective
and simple way of killing yourself and presumably
doesnt hurt for long when you do it properly.

Simple and effective is the reason. You don't have to organize the
nembutal or rope or go down to the rail track or whatever so the time to
have 2nd thoughts is reduced. Also other methods increase the chances of
being found in the process


Personally I'd use nembutal given that its a lot more
reliable and completely painless,

especially washed down with a bottle of good scotch apperently

but its nothing like
as easy to organise even in the US where its just a
quick trip to mexico where its readily available over
the counter for anyone who wants it.
