Not only that, it shows the absurdity that strict guns laws would have a substantive effect on suicide rates. Someone can just suck down a bottle of pills instead, a lot less messy.
Exactly correct.
None of the gun laws proposed would make the slightest difference in Suicide rates.
More background checks? No effect.
Magazine bans? Suicides do not require more than one shot.
Modern Sporting Rifle bans? See above.
The only thing that might actually have an effect on *gun suicides* not the overall rate, is massive gun confiscations, which is what the “progressives” all claim is something they would never do...
So, either they are lying, stupid, or ignorant, or some combination of all three. The left is very good at deceiving itself.
Yes exactly and for women that is more prevalent yet no one is suggesting people be restricted from purchasing pills, poison or other equally deadly things. Guns are just a convenient target and like most leftist aims it is to separate the responsibility from the individual and move it to the object.
