Guns And Suicide: More Guns, Less Suicides?

Interesting study. I'm inclined to agree with the author of the article (not so much the study) that if you own multiple firearms you like guns and if you decide to commit suicide you don't want it associated with firearms and therefore hurt the greater second amendment community.

Makes sense

See that argument doesn't make any sense to me..

If someone is going to kill themselves they are to the point they don't care about others and are only thinking of themselves.

Someone isn't going to be like, I better not use a gun because I care how the community looks, also fuck my family I'm going to kill myself I don't care about how that impacts them

If you have enough guns the suicidal feeling will pass while you are trying to pick out the right one.

So what I’m hearing is that more guns are an antidote to suicidal depression? I’m gonna have a hell of a time selling that to the wife, but I’ll buy it!

2A gun owners recognize the right to protect oneself and family, self preservation. Killing yourself goes against self preservation so its not part of a 2A gun owners psychological profile. A 2A gun owner is gonna say ill buy what ever and as many as i like. Someone less confident, and not focused on self preservation would be to scared to buy more then one in fear they may try to kill themselves with it. Liberals are just one big Freudian slip. They know they cant control themselves so they assume no one else can either.
