Of course they blame guns because they can’t blame the actual root causes... like the stress on people and families due to an economy in the toilet, an absolutely unsatisfying materialistic culture based on simply collecting more stuff than the next person, and the forced adulation of everything offensive and perverted by popular media and the entertainment industry. Their solution of course to all unhappiness is a pill that just got out of clinical trials and your insurance will pay for.

suicide, like drugs, alcohol, deviancy is to kill the pain of living.

There is no purpose in life.

All there is is hopelessness. but don’t worry the govt is here to save us.

What should our purpose in life be?

“What should our purpose in life be?”

Isn’t it obvious by now? Our “purpose” is to serve the state! At least that’s what they want the sheeple to do.

To: Tell It Right

I have read that 60% of gun deaths are from suicide. This is awful. But this does not override my constitutional right to own a gun.

When will enough be enough? Guess the ‘authorities’ aren’t counting the 100,000+ ODs as suicides eh? But, firearm abuse/misuse? Now there’s a real problem they can sink their fangs into.

Hey Democrats, stop filling our young people with dread and despair.

Parents, show your offspring through your lives with them that they are beautiful children of a wonderful God who created them because He loves them.

Treat the majority of the population as if they are pariahs, tell them all the bad in the world is because of them. Tell them the world is going to end in 10 years.

Suicides go up? I wonder why.

The nation must repent and believe in Jesus. Depression (sorrow of heart) is one of the judgments upon a nation for turning from God.

Maybe if the government stopped encouraging people to become mentally ill with “transgenderism”.

The wife’s reported statements are bizarre.
