The argument is as stupid as guns don't kill people. While true, it sure as hell makes it a lot easier.

Guns don't kill people. Guns are a tool for killing at a distance, yes; however it's people who sometimes misuse the tool to kill other people. Other people use guns to kill food to feed their family, or to kill or deter bad people who mean them great physical harm. Most all tools can be misused in bad ways, or used in positive ways. That responsibility all falls back upon the user, as the tool itself will usually just sit there inert without a human involved.

Recent history has taught us that the upside to popular gun ownerships are vanishingly thin compared to the thick wedge of accidental deaths and mass shootings.
The ability to ruin someone's life should be restricted behind more than a point and click interface.

How much 'killing distance' do you think is involved when gun ownership is associated with 8x higher chance of suicide for men, and 35x higher chance of suicide for women?

Because in other places, there are way fewer effective methods of suicide, so people are scared into staying alive and suffering. Guns provide an almost sure way of ending your life, which is I think a way humane thing to do than forcing people to stay alive and suffer.

does owning the gun do this?
always flip the coin.
tryout elevated suicidal ideation partialy presents as possesion/purchase of a handgun. kick that about in thought, if it seems stable that can be considered a perihypothesis

Guns are designed to kill people, and WEI is designed to block unauthorized browsers.

Just delete all my comments everywhere here, please. I'm done with this shit. Gettin' downvoted for speaking true pisses me off entirely too much. I'm just not going to engage at all from now on. Please delete my entire history, since my ability to delete my own shit gets removed after some arbitrary period of time.
