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.

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

I wouldn't call a 5+ hour flight (or 25-hour drive) a quick trip.

Depends on which part of the US you are doing that from.

My part, of course. Michigan.

Most arent as far away from mexico as that.

The gun would be much quicker and cheaper.

And much more painful and much less reliable and much
more messy for the relos to have to clean up after it.

I'd do it in my backyard. The coroner would remove the body and
the scavengers would get any little bits and pieces.

Great for the neighbours kids to have to watch that.


I'm on two acres, and none of the neighbors have kids.


But they could have visiting kids who go to see what the gunshot was about.

It could be done in complete privacy.


But may not be.


I'll let you know afterward whether anybody saw me.
