The only question is which of them will be your choice to off yourself
when you're ready to go? 17,000 suicides by gun each year in the US

suicide.


So? Maybe if we made it easier, the nutcases would off themselves before
shooting a bunch of innocents and suicide by cop.

I would expect no less calloused a response from someone who clearly
hasn't been touched by a suicide in the family nor are you apparently
capable of the empathy required to understand the plight of the
severely depressed, the imbalanced or the family surrounding them.


Actually I do have empathy. One of my good friends in high school,
committed suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning over a first love. And my
Mother in law was bipolar. But I feel it is better they commit suicide
with just them self, instead of taking a bunch of innocents with them.
Maybe is a cold attitude, but I believe fair.

Are you implying that mental state may have more to do with the suicide than the gun?

Funny stuff. Ask your buddy Harry. He seems to be shopping for just
the right one.

The odds of a suicide or simply the odds that they use the gun for the
suicide?
Lets go look at one of those examples of a gun free country, Japan.
They have a higher suicide rate than the US.

What's the mass murder rate in Japan?

JPS was talking about suicide, the bulk of gun deaths here.
Mass killing makes the news but it doesn't even bump the needle on the
murder rate unless you count gang shootings where they kill several
people at once.

Gotta love how hard you fellas work to minimize the mass murder rate here.

BTW, the suicide rate for males in Japan is 26.9 per 100,000, compared
to 19.4 per 100,000 here.

Suicide is a holdover of Japanese society during its feudal times and in
World War II. I suppose mass murder is a holdover of American society.

Do you reckon mental stability, or lack thereof, may also be a factor? Why have you
not asked Harry the same question?
