When you break that down by the method of suicide, you see that the US has 5.76 suicide deaths by guns per 100,000 people , Sweden has 0.85, France 1.1, Japan .03, the UK 0.14, Throughout the world, Greenland is the only country whose suicide rate by guns is higher. Our suicide rate by guns is many times higher than most of the world. We should do what they are doing.

So suicide using a gun is somehow worse than suicide using a razor blade, a rope, an overdose or a swan dive off a building?

 

[Blues Man]

Over 90% of non-gun suicide attempts do not succeed.

Got a link for that?

ANd what does that matter?

Suicide is a choice. I happen to believe that people have the right to choose whether they live or not.

Nope. It is, however, the main way we kill ourselves in the US.

Nope. It is, however, the main way we kill ourselves in the US.

People have the absolute right to decide to commit suicide or not.

Nope. It is, however, the main way we kill ourselves in the US.

So what? it is not the main way in the world. Proving firearms are not the problem.

They are a problem here.

RIP. Very Sad.

As you know, for every gun used to commit murder, ~10 are used in self-defense.
Why doesn't this information make your infographic?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Guns enable murder and suicide.

People are more than capable of killing themselves, and others, w/o a firearm.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Guns are used in over 30,000 murders and suicides per year in USA.

And over 100,000 times per year in self-defense.

Because it's bullshit

 

[M14 Shooter]

Over 90% of non-gun suicide attempts do not succeed.

Because the person trying to commit suicide was not serious about killing himself.

 

[Blues Man]

They are a problem here.

No they're not.

The vast majority of Americans have a less than minuscule chance of being murdered by a person with a gun.

With a gun, he doesn't have much time to reconsider, does he?

 

[Blues Man]

With a gun, he doesn't have much time to reconsider, does he?

Same with a swan dive off a roof.

His life his choice.

Yet you gun nuts rant about Chicago on a regular basis.

Yet you gun nuts rant about Chicago on a regular basis.

I haven't mentioned Chicago at all.

The facts are the facts.

You have a 99.9996% chance of not getting murdered by a person with a gun.

If you don't live in a hyper violent urban area your odds improve greatly.

You've spoken to most gun owners? That must have been exhausting.

And never mind she probably drives a big SUV or pickup and texts while driving and putting on makeup at the same time.

But hey....."LOOK A THOSE EVIL GUNS" !!!!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Yet you gun nuts rant about Chicago on a regular basis.

Their ranting about a "CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT" is far less annoying than your cults obsession with Trump and all your defund the Police BS and anti-America rhetoric

 

[2aguy]

With a gun, he doesn't have much time to reconsider, does he?

And when you step off the ledge, you can't fly either....

Dear Real Americans......

Please try to remember that Marxist and Communists in America do not want personal liberty and freedom.
They are the Cult of massive Oppressive Government control and your ownership of a gun is a big roadblock in the way of that.

ALL their BULLSHIT about deaths and safety and lives etc etc etc is nothing more than propaganda to move the agenda of disarming America forward.
They truly don't give a flying shit about your safety or your rights or the facts.

But I'm betting you are smart and already knew this.
