I’m eighty and personally knew only 4 people that tried. One successful(Gun), 2 (pills) not successful(vomited).
One guy offed himself with an accidental “solitary Blue Haze” incident.
The gun incident was a teenager, druggie, jilted by girlfriend. If he didn’t have gun, he was planning to jump in front of a train.

Obama may have been emotional about something he just found out about that we do not know about. People just do not start crying when they read a speech. People often cry when they are on overload, like a tea pot ready to let off steam. He looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Biden looked like he was going to cry too.

35 years ago I knew a guy who shot himself in the face with a antique muzzle loader outside his girlfriends apartment which was right next to mine.

I disagree ... I think 0bama wants an islamofascist nation. Just like Iran.

True.

Islamofascist nations don't particularly worry themselves about gun ownership [unless it's the wrong Muzzie sect], because it's understood that the Muslim peasants are already mentally enslaved by their allegiance to their inferior moon-rock god.

It's also why I maintain that dog squeezins like Minnesota's Keith Ellison and our own Muslim-In-Chief are incapable of becoming citizens or holding public office, because the Natural Rights of Man are not recognized by their kind.

Heartbreaking.

“Veterans in recent years have been blighted by high suicide rates. The suicide rate in the Army exceeds that of the general U.S. population, according to a press release on the study. Of those veterans who commit suicide, nearly 70 percent use a gun to do it.”

http://news.discovery.com/human/health/would-gun-control-reduce-suicides-20130227.htm

However, almost seven out of 10 veterans who have committed suicide were over the age of 50, according to a Department of Veterans Affairs study.

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2014/08/31/older-vets-committing-suicide-at-alarming-rate.html

An estimated 22 veterans kill themselves every day [8,000/year], according to a 2012 Department of Veterans Affairs study.

"He looks like he was triggered by something that is really bothering him deep inside.

What's bothering him is the thought of how many of his Muzzie home boyz are going to get shot and killed when the start the same crap here they're now doing in Europe.

Obama may have been emotional about something he just found out about that we do not know about.

Probably found out that Reggie Love lied to him about "the catcher" being the "dominant one" in the relationship.

Biden looked like he was going to cry too.

Biden found out from Reggie Love that watching two guys, and liking it, doesn't mean that you're heterosexual, and now Joe's got to tell Jill what "The Pirate and the Cabin Boy" game really means...

Of those 8 thousand homicides I wonder how many were shot by a cop?

Also a large number of the homicides are justifiable homicides or self defense.

Car deaths are at least triple that amount. We need to ban cars ASAP.
