There has been a spate recently of suicide attempts using hydrogen sulphide gas that had been produced following instructions that are easily found on the Internet. According to police reports, over 500 Japanese have killed themselves this year by inhaling hydrogen sulphide fumes.

Suicide Rate In Japan Still Climbing Despite Government Measures
Listen here ass mouth, do you have a problem with reading comprehension? We're talking about guns contributing to death. My point is that gun control won't stop gun crime much like it won't stop suicides. Hence, the large number of suicides in Japan by other methods. Make sure you understand a post before you call someone a moron; dipshit
you state your for gun regulations now your twisting somewhat and say what you ment was your against gun control cus it wont stop crime
states about suicide by methods other then guns is a non sequiter anyway .
Don't blame me for your inability to pick up on implications and read context clues. Read the surrounding posts and you'll understand. The posters in the thread expressed wanting to ban firearms because of the number of deaths "caused" by them. My post about suicides is a contradiction of that. In the grand scheme of things, suicide by gun is counted in overall gun-related deaths. Because Japan has a super-high suicide rate, them not allowed to own guns proves that banning guns won't do much do stop gun-related deaths. As far as homicide in concerened, the issue of banning guns has been proven not to work in decreasing violent gun deaths. The point is, people will kill people regardless if they have a gun...
As far as my position on gun regulations...I said I am for regulations that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill while not restricting my rights (as a law-abiding citizen) to obtain one. The federal government already plays its part in conducting background checks on everyone who buys a gun from a dealer. The problem arises when one can buy a gun used from an individual. You can sell your glock to a drug dealer and no one would know the drug dealer had it except for you.
