  you might be surprised by the number of people who ended up in a vegetative state instead[1]. still it's more effective than slashing wrists (which is more of a suicide gesture) [1] http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/drug-poisoning http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/drug-poisoning

    For fuck's sake, please don't post dangerously incorrect information. 1) Self-harm is the best predictor of death by suicide, so the fact that some people make a "suicide gesture" means their risk of death by suicide is significantly higher than the general population. By trivialising self harm (which is what you've done here) you further increase their risk of death. 2) The common methods of death by suicide in places without guns are i) hanging followed by ii) self-poisoning. Self-poisoning is very dangerous, and always requires emergency medical attention. The fact the US has an opioid crisis with huge numbers of people dying from overdose should be enough evidence. 3) Stop posting links to pro-suicide websites. Your actions kill people.

the problem with guns is the same as many other forms of suicide that the harm you may do to those that find you. the best way to go is to disappear completely without a trace. but doing so successfully requires a huge amount of research to pull off in a way that you won't be found ever. it also leaves the question if those that you leave behind (if any) will be hurt by your disappearance. this is an incredibly hard problem which I expect will take me a long time to solve. it's a reason as good as any to continue muddling through and live another day.
