You don’t need a gun to commit suicide, so 2A Rights have nothing to do with the issue.

Is suicide a sin? Yes, I believe it is, as that is God’s decision when our lives will end. But I know there are those who suffer terribly at life-end, & in such cases, I’m sure it is forgiven.

It would seem a strange thing to me for God to sacrifice his Son for mankind, but then withhold salvation from those over petty reasons.

My 41-year-old son ended his life with a hand gun less than 2 weeks ago. He was on Wellbutrin and Xanax mixed with alcohol. He was making plans for the future with his fiancée and was relatively happy, albeit plagued by depression for the last 20 years.

Ryan was raised Catholic but hadn’t practiced his faith in years, although he told a friend recently that he wanted to start going to Mass again. We’re having him cremated, but I know he’s with Jesus or at least in Purgatory, even though he ended his own life, because he wasn’t in his right mind in those last few minutes. The Church now considers mental illness as a mitigating factor in suicide cases.

A. 2A rights means gun ownership is easier in the USA than elsewhere and pulling trigger of a gun is easier, therefore more likely to happen, than jumping in front of a train or off a building or bridge.

B. I think Hemingway was suffering.
