Americans own more guns than any country on earth and account for more gun violence than any country on earth.

You really think this is just a product of sadness or stress?
:russ:

As someone who attempted suicide at roughly the same age. Yes. :ld:

In the United States, suicides outnumber homicides almost two to one. Perhaps the real tragedy behind suicide deaths—about 30,000 a year, one for every 45 attempts—is that so many could be prevented. Research shows that whether attempters live or die depends in large part on the ready availability of highly lethal means, especially firearms.

A study by the Harvard School of Public Health of all 50 U.S. states reveals a powerful link between rates of firearm ownership and suicides. Based on a survey of American households conducted in 2002, HSPH Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management Matthew Miller, Research Associate Deborah Azrael, and colleagues at the School’s Injury Control Research Center (ICRC), found that in states where guns were prevalent—as in Wyoming, where 63 percent of households reported owning guns—rates of suicide were higher. The inverse was also true: where gun ownership was less common, suicide rates were also lower.

The lesson? Many lives would likely be saved if people disposed of their firearms, kept them locked away, or stored them outside the home. Says HSPH Professor of Health Policy David Hemenway, the ICRC’s director: “Studies show that most attempters act on impulse, in moments of panic or despair. Once the acute feelings ease, 90 percent do not go on to die by suicide.”

The link between suicide and guns has been made.

Not to say there aren't other factors to suicide.

Missing the point. Access to a gun only make a suicide attempt much more likely to be more successful. Guns have nothing to do with the mental and emotional rut one would be in to make that decision to attempt suicide in the first place.
A suicide attempt that isn’t successful isn’t a suicide.

So having the tools and culture in place that make it “achievable” are a big part of the problem.

You apparently are so obsessed with internet acknowledgment to the point that you are now defending a joke about a dude that just killed himself for multiple posts. I’m just helping you out at this point.

If you think imaginary daps or reps would dictate my posting you’re delusional.

You could get rid of all that dumb shyt and I’d still make that joke.
