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.

What I said.

You don't have to organize the nembutal

Or research that as an effective approach.

or rope

No real organisation involved there. Likely the reason
they prefer to shoot themselves is that its likely to be
rather less painful than hanging themselves with no real
chance of changing your mind once you have done it

or go down to the rail track or whatever so the time to have 2nd thoughts
is reduced.

And also more chance of doing it when ****ed and
just decide '**** it' and do it due to the reduction
in inhibitions that comes with lots of grog.

Also other methods increase the chances of being found in the process

Sure, but you'd have to be pretty incompetent
to have that happen with hanging yourself.
I bet most who dont like that approach dont
like it for that other reason, not a great way to go.

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

especially washed down with a bottle of good scotch apparently

Yeah, it doesnt taste that great.

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.
