No doubt having a gun increases suicide rates. Look no further than law enforcement and military suicide rates.
Not enough bandwidth or time in the day to hash out the root causes, I don’t have it anyways. Ask your self why did this individual respond in such a way? Yes there’s been violence since Cain killed Able One person has a beef with someone, Hatfields have a beef with the McCoys, this I understand but why does someone have enough hate to start killing people en-mass, people they have no association, little or no known history, no basis other than their perceived prejudice? To Usualname, yes America has a mental health problem, it’s there in other cultures but on full display here. For many reasons, problems in our society, when in combination, lowers our moral filter to the point where these kinds of outbursts are becoming common place. It’s not getting better. Guns have always been in our society, the problems we see today haven’t, only until recently.
Au contraire, for a long time “no guns within city limits” was very much our society. Wyatt Earp would have thrown you out of his town on your ass faster than you could whistle camptown races for having a gun. Don’t kid yourself about this gun stuff. We became kooky with guns in the 1970s.
1. your data is outdated. Check here: https://www.cwla.org/suicide-rates-are-the-highest-in-the-u-s-compared-to-wealthy-countries/ 2. Look at the suicide by gun in your own data. 3. Remove eastern nations because they have a cultural problem with hiri kari.
Why responsible, is there mention of responsible in the constitution? Compulsory gun safety courses are obviously an unconstitutional infringement on the 2nd amendment. Anyone should be able to buy a gun as easily as a pack of gum at a checkout.
Correct. You miss the point though as usual. We already have irresponsible criminals carrying guns and so if a great number of responsible Americans were carrying guns, then the criminals would be marginalized.
