[Harpy Eagle]

Accidental gun deaths are still a a minuscule percentage compared to the number of time people use guns annually.

In fact any other activity with such a low percentage of accidental deaths would be praised for being safe.

Most people who consider suicide are ambivalent.

The people who choose a gun, however, have committed themselves to dying.

No, it's not.

This is the story of a friend's nephew. The kid actually finished his homework before hanging himself:

Administrators kept quiet about student’s breakdown before suicide: suit

A pistol is the easiest and most convenient way to kill yourself today. It's easy to get a pistol, buy or borrow. A bullet to the brain is almost always lethal.

Hanging yourself or taking drugs is not always successful. A lot of places where people used to jump off are secured these days.
