  > Million ways to kill oneself that are easily accessible. A key factor to look at when someone is experiencing suicidal ideation is to evaluate whether they have a concrete plan.

Most non-gun methods I can think of off the top of my head come with risk factors that would require more complex planning. But, with easy access to a firearm, the planning becomes much simpler in many ways.
