There is a world of difference between pressing a button that launches some complex machinery that will at the end oversedate you so you die in sleep, and outright gruesome suicide for which there are many options everywhere, no need to drag gun politics into this. Also its usually the closest people like husband, father or brother who usually find the corpse... what an assholish act.
Yet for some reason most folks would be fine with former and strongly reject the latter, maybe due to religious dogmas around suicide.
Anyway this way out of topic, most folks going through this in ie Switzerland would be barely able to hold the gun properly. Its much more about dying with dignity (which gun has 0) and ending it all with power over one's fate, instead of misery dragging out for months and years, of which elderly homes are choke full.
