Japan has a suicide rate which dwarfs ours but private gun ownership is virtually unknown there.

Having worked in a big city ER for many years I've seen more death than I care to remember.And that ER was located in a state with just about the most restrictive,anti 2nd Amendment,laws in the country.

I can assure everyone that we had at least our share of suicides...and only a small percentage of them involved firearms.

Good news, but unfortunately, facts don’t matter to the Left.

What matters more to them is emotion and rhetoric.
