The Person You’re Most Likely To Kill With Your Gun Is You
excerpts
There are 51,438 licensed retail gun stores in America, more than three times the number of McDonald’s restaurants.
Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Gun Policy, told Bloomberg that it’s unclear if gun ownership is linked to violence. But there seems to be a clear link to gun availability, and familiarity with guns and suicide.
A Harvard University study conducted in 2007 found that “States with higher levels of household gun ownership had higher rates of firearm suicide and overall suicide.”
Adolescents who commit suicide by firearm generally use the family gun. Veterans have continually demonstrated high rates of suicide by firearm. Suicide by firearm is, of course, much more effective than other methods.
Gun deaths have been slowly rising since 2000, while deaths related to motor vehicles have plummeted since 2007
Those who oppose further regulation of guns make the argument that guns are necessary for self-defense.
The 2011 study “Guns in the home provide greater health risk than benefit” showed that a gun is more likely to send a family member to the emergency room or the morgue than to ever be used against an intruder.
As the nation considers what can be done about gun violence, the issue of how to protect gun owners from themselves definitely needs to be considered.

Maybe they should buy another gun so they can protect themselves, and shoot .. themselves, when they try to shoot .. themselves.
Makes about as much sense as anything else in a nation in love with guns.

BAC, all due respect, the only way those gun death numbers are that high is the inclusion of suicides. And if someone commits suicide with a firearm, they were serious about wanting to die. Anyone that serious about wanting to die is gonna do it, with or without a gun.
I disagree. Availability of a gun makes suicide easier and leaves less time to think about what one is doing.

Do you think suicide is a "spur of the moment" decision? The availability may make it easier. But not having one available certainly doesn't make it very difficult.
If someone wants to die, they will be able to do it. But I doubt very seriously if anyone makes a snap decision and just shoots themselves. And jumping off a bridge or tall building doesn't leave much time to change their mind either.
If you want to help suicides, gun laws are not the route to take. Awareness and availability of quality mental health services would be the way to go.

BAC, all due respect, but if there is so little crime that people don't need guns in their homes for self defense, then we can surely do without so many police on our streets and laws on our books, can we not?

Not exactly true. If you really want to commit suicide .. use a gun. Much higher rates of 'success.'
A lot of these guns they love so much are going to be used to kill themselves more than self-protection.

this means what, exactly? have you ever studied the psychology behind suicide? It doesn't have to include a gun. there's no 'evil icky' behind a gun that forces people to kill themselves.

Granted, a gun does provide a surety that pills or carbon monoxide may not. But I don't think these people will survive if they have no handy firearm.
Always remember, I never post anything on here without knowing the truth.

It's an amazing article, you should read all of it and educate yourself.

In all honesty, I don't really have a position on guns. I used to be against them, and spiritually I still am. However, I cannot tell another how best to protect themselves from the night. I recognize the reality of the terror.
That being said, I also recognize the terror and insanity of a society in love with a gun.
I grew up in Detroit. Today, everybody there has a gun. Everyone in my family still there carries a gun. I have a son who is a cop there .. and he seemingly has thousands of guns.
Of course when the Detroit police has this to say ..

Far be it for me to decide what someone should do to protect themselves and their families there.
But do you know one big reason why the city is so dangerous? .. It's because everybody has guns.
Personally, I don't need a gun .. never have, and I've always lived in urban environments because I prefer them.
My answer to your question brother is that I believe America is beyond the ability to really do anything about our avalanche of guns.

A look into the demographics of who kill themselves by guns paints a picture that is quite telling.

BAC these are the best posts about guns I've seen here, mostly because you really tapped into my own ambivalence and cynicism on the topic.

You have all missed the point. Razor must be one of the most intelligent people of all time to post here. What he is actually saying is that America will only be truly safe when every man, woman, child and toddler has their own gun and can kill or maim anyone they like.
I think that's what you are trying to say, Razor, my friend.
Dont forget, guns dont kill people, people kill people....WITH GUNS.
