You'd rather the suicides use more primitive implements? If you are done with things a gun is pretty painless and nearly certain. Everything else should have warning labels.

As the guidelines request,

This is particularly important on sensitive topics, such as this one. The goal of HN is not combative arguments, but rather constructive, substantive discussion.

Could you please carefully read the guidelines and stop commenting like this? This is not up to the standards of discourse of this site.
