Gun suicides are some of the most painless - why force someone who wants to end their life experience hell through their last moments?
> very little preparation or premeditation is required
Assuming that you already own a gun.
I do agree with what you said, but I don't believe that trying to limit the freedom of someone to kill themselves using a gun is the best solution.
- mikepurvis 8y agoDid you actually read the article? The point is that there is at least one gun in 1/3 US households. So someone living in one of those households can have a passing thought of suicide, and then act on it irreversibly in a matter of minutes. You're welcome, I guess, to frame that in terms of limiting someone's freedom, but it doesn't have to be about the government taking away the guns; maybe there's just an argument there that having a gun in your house is unwise given the potential impact it could have on future you or your family members. An alcoholic doesn't keep beer in their fridge either, because the potential for self harm is too great.
