20,000 per year people kill themselves with guns???

Suicide is a rare occurrence- usually you hear about it on the news.

Is this figure accurate?

Yes. U.S. Suicide rate is about 11.5 per 100,000 people.

Most people committing suicide with guns are old white guys.

Japan has a suicide rate of 18.5 per 100,000.

France has a suicide rate of 12. 5 per 100,000

South Korea has a suicide rate of 27.5 per 100,000.

I’ve known about a dozen people who have tried or succeeded in offing themselves. Only one to use a gun only managed to blow half his face off with a 20 gauge.

One of my brothers-in-law killed himself just this last August with his own 12-gauge shotgun, while sitting in his truck, blew his head off. That's not the way I would want to go.

yea, one of my good friends decided a 12ga in the mouth was the answer to life’s problems.

Just start a car in a closed garage with 10 sleeping pills and classic vinyl on the radio.

I could have done without the drama.

I wonder if these “at his home” deaths are really suicides.

One of my brothers-in-law killed himself with his shotgun while in his truck this last August. Absolutely no news accounts other than he passed away. The only hint in the news was a sibling mentioning his demons caught up to him. My wife's sister told us the actual details of her husband's death.

You don't need a car. Plenty of incidents of deaths due to using kerosene lamps and heaters in enclosed spaces. Very peaceful way to, while asleep.

“But knowing that he is a liar and that his entire political life has been a staged affair, made up of nothing but deceit, I would bet that he had something on his hand that made him cry.”

I totally agree! The timing was too convenient to be an emotional reaction to something, especially statistics, he had read far enough in the past to be able to make a speech about it. This worthless lying POS is so untrustworthy that I would only go to his funeral to make sure he wasn’t faking it.

And that should be on his head stone.

“We only came to see if he is faking this as well.”

President Trump has vowed that on his first day in office, he will revoke this EO and every other unconstitutional EO issued by Obama. It would be even better if President Trump simply revoked ALL of Obama’s EOs with Trump Presidential EO #1, and then reissued any that actually might some merit.

Bill Clinton would often bite his own lip and cry.
