Well obviously based on the results of the study, stricter firearms restrictions and further infringement is required on law abiding citizens. Because we all know that if no gun was available, those bent on committing suicide would not do so. Right?

In the last 3 years, I have known 3 folks that used firearms to commit suicide. Two of them close. I knew two others over the past 10 years and also a negligent discharge death of a close friends son. I still place NO responsibility on the firearm. I know it's a violation of the liblogic 101 and emotion filled rage but, it ain't there.

(!) My advice is to stay away from those people.

It’s a foolish idea to believe that mass killers can be identified with background checks. The checks succeed only in harassing honest people.

Logic and facts will have no effect on Democrat efforts to “reform” gun restrictions. They will use this study to advocate the inclusion of medical records in the background checks and will use them to prohibit firearms purchases based on prescription medicines, mental health observations and treatment, presence in a war zone during adulthood, and completely unfounded accusations. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

The backround check program is so flawed it should abandoned.
