Yes, in fact. :)
- chrisseaton 6y agoSo how does 'suicide by gun often gets wrapped into "gun violence" figures than make the US stats look worse than they actually are', which is what this thread was about?
- busterarm 6y agoCertain advocacy groups just report gun-involved deaths as a single statistic. Not if they are homicides or suicides. This should be plainly obvious. What point are you making? Other than perhaps unintentionally backing the pro-gun lobby idea that guns are just tools.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> What point are you making? That if you're worried about the harmful effects of guns, don't discount suicide just because those people aren't harming you.
- busterarm 6y agoBut we've just established that those people are going to kill themselves anyway. This is circular reasoning.
