>We know for a fact access to firearms increases the chance of a successful suicide. We also know poverty and financial stress leads to increased suicide, in fact close to 20% are directly related. and yet, while the stock market is at record highs, companies are more profitable than ever, workers are more efficient than ever, inequality and debt has skyrocketed to historical highs. The real question is what would come first: gun regulation(s) or some reforms to our economy so people are not living hand to mouth, indebted their entire lives, and have access to healthcare which includes mental health. My guess is neither. People in the US will continue to offer hopes and prayers (over social media no less for the virtue signaling and likes) but the vast majority wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.
