If you took the gun away from suiciders, they’d jump in front of an electric car or jump off a wind-power windmill. Ban those too. What complete fools. Were nobama’s tears today for the innocent children he murders with his drones in the Middle East?

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.

Garages and pills were the popular choices

Sometimes when people cry it is for other reasons, not always the subject at hand. This guy has been on a long vacation. Maybe he is starting to realize just how many people in the world have died because of his bad decisions.

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?

Obama doesn’t look very stable in the picture.
He looks like he was triggered by something that is really bothering him deep inside.

I think I heard obozo specify the number of people yesterday who commit suicide using - GASP - GUNS...and I couldn’t help but wonder why he thinks it’s his job to even be concerned about it. We HIRED him (BIG MISTAKE) to keep this COUNTRY safe and he can’t get that done so he wanders down another rabbit trail? Why not? Distract and obfuscate works for dems every time.

Obama wants a socialist nation. Just like Cuba and France.

I know 2 people who tried to kill themselves with guns. They only succeeded in horribly mutilating themselves, but they’re both still alive.
