Now THAT does make sense!

But ... but ... but ... the VPC and the Million Mommies swore to me that if we just got rid of those horrible guns in homes, then kids would quit killing themselves and we'd all live happily ever after! Now I find out they'll use something else! I ... I ... I know those honorable, sincere and principled groups weren't trying to deceive me! They just couldn't have known!
'cuse me, I gotta go hork up a hairball after that one...

Oh, no. Think how much more deadly shooting yourself in the head fifteen times is than shooting yourself in the head only ten times. Oh year! Those assault guns spray bullets like a water hose.

Agree totally.
Suicide is especially tough on train crews (am an old railroader).
Lots of railroad careers have been ended that way, engineers and conductors that couldnt cope with the emotional things. Seeing a family etc. that no power on earth could prevent you from killing them.
That will really tear your guts out
I would think that it is similiar for folks that drive trucks etc. etc.
Suicide by definition is a very selfish act.

As I told my niece and nephews, there is nothing so important in a young persons life that is worth suicide! High school can be crappy. Relationships can be crappy. It gets better! You'll get stronger!

Suicide by definition is a very selfish act. Oh sure. Great thing to say. Those people are having trouble enough, coping.
Go ahead, lay a liberal psychobabble guilt trip on them and really cheer them up.
To: TC Rider
Excellent news for the gun grabbers. They can trumpet that teen suicide by firearm has been drastically curtailed by reasonable gun safety legislation, and more reasonable common-sense controls can bring the numbers down more.
They just have to leave off the "hanging" part and they have a PR winner! They are the cultural heroes again!

I belong to a grief support group and some people have talked about their teens hanging themselves to get a high. It seems to be the "in" thing to do at some schools. A member's son died this way. She is on a crusade to warn other parents about this so called fad.

Whats this crap?
Suicide IS a selfish act and the people who choose this option are by definition selfish.
Leave it up to others to fix the mess they make.
Liberalism or conservatism has nothing to do with it.

A couple of years ago my neighbor's niece came over to his house for a visit...and hanged herself in his basement while he and his wife were out shopping...
She was 15 and had just broken up with her boyfriend of 2 yrs....none of her relatives knew how depressed she was or how desperate and hopeless she felt...though her friends did...
None of her immediate family ever suspected or had a hint that she might take her own life....

This is actually good news.
Should take some of the Liberal-Socialist whacko heat off the firearm industry & place it squarely where it belongs.
...on rope makers.
