Guns can be effective, but they are also very messy and plenty of people have attempted to kill themselves with a firearm and failed. The results of that are horrific and in some circumstances can leave a person unable to try again.
I don't think you were advocating for it as a replacement for medically assisted suicide, I'm only pointing out that it's a poor substitute for what we really need.
- zzt123 5y agoYea it’s a poor substitute, not least of which because it can ruin any open casket funeral, given that the best odds of not vegetating yourself calls for short barrel, high caliber hollow point. Just terrible that it can end up being the primary option when you get to the point where you don’t want to go through the last few months of suffering with no hope of recovery. Just terrible.
