Neal, you're a complete PUTZ! By your own study, Massachusetts has
substantially lowers rates for almost all forms of crime than the
national average. The murder rate is about 40% of the national average.
The overall "crime index" was 42nd in the country.
The the most recent studies, MA is cited as the "safest state in the
country." My hometown is cited as "The safest city in the country"!

In Massachusetts, we have the toughest gun laws in the country. We
also have the lowest gun death rate (by a large margin) in the
country. We also have one of the lowest suicide rates in the country,
about 60% of the national average.

Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
There ya go, you made my point.
With cars, pills you do get a chance to call for help.
You can call for help after you die from car exhaust? I didn't
know
that.

Nope, but you sure as hell can before the gas gets you.
Scooter, back when, I attended a whole bunch of suicides, in plenty
of
them there were signs that the person had changed their mind and
unsuccessfully tried to call for help.
You know, things like, the phone knocked over, signs that they'd
tried
to crawl to the door, etc, and many others where they had managed to
call, but help arrived too late.
Never seen that in a gunshot suicide.
