Rest in Peace.

What's even sadder, is that you seem to have a problem with the 2nd Amendment.

That's VERY sad.

Fortunately for me, I have no political influence.

But tens of thousands of lives are lost to guns each year in USA alone.

How many people die in the U.S. every day ?

What percentage of those are to guns ?

Just curious.

 

[MadChemist]

Very sad. 572,000 people in 1999-2016.

70% of those people killed themselves and suicide isn't a crime it's a choice.

Now, that is SAD.

It is a crime, like murder.

You've sided with the criminals over normal people.

No. People with Depression and/or Mental Disability who commit suicide need more help and protection then normal people.

People have the right to choose to take their own lives

I am Jewish. Most Americans are Christians. Jews, Christians, and Muslims views suicide as a great sin.

I am all for more and better mental health care.

But, as I have said before, if someone truly wants to die they will be able to do so. I pointed out that the Japanese have a much higher rate of suicide, and all without access to guns. Your response was not admitting that suicides are possible without guns, but comments about the Japanese not believing in sin.

1) I support universal medical care 100%.

2) Suicides without guns are possible but less likely.

What evidence do you have of #2? Since there is a fine example of a high number of suicides in a nation with some of the strictest gun laws in the world.

Have you ever had anyone in your family or someone close to you commit suicide? You can disagree with their actions but it is not a crime.

You still have the choice to end your own life. Suicide isn't a crime.

And how do you punish a "criminal" who commits suicide?

If gun violence and murder rates are adjusted for gang related incidents, the rates in the U.S. are below Europe's.

We don't have a gun problem. We have a gang culture problem in which feral young men are completely dysfunctional and violent. This is the direct result of government programs which destroyed the formation and success of Nuclear Families.
