Even ignoring this study, there's the fact that sometimes we get sad and having a simple suicide mechanism laying around your home makes you dramatically more likely to kill yourself[1]. > Men who own handguns are eight times more likely to die of gun suicides than men who don’t own handguns, and women who own handguns are 35 times more likely than women who don’t. I don't understand why the pro-gun crowd flails around trying to justify it. Just say you like guns, it's okay. Nobody is coming to take them (unless the recent Texas 'one weird trick to defeat the Constitution with civil lawsuits' plays out to its logical conclusion and we get states allowing anyone to sue anyone involved in a firearm sale).
