A year and a half after he died, I still think about my dad every day. I also think about how I lost him to a devastating epidemic that hurts Americans from all walks of life: firearm suicide. On any given day this crisis takes the lives of 58 people. But for all the heartbreak it causes, there have been too few conversations about how we can help someone in crisis before they pick up a gun. |

(paraphrasing Archie Bunker)
"Would you be happier, little girl, if he'da jumped out a window?"
One of my close friends suffering from alcohol-induced depession didn't have a gun handy. He wrapped a chain in a towel, tossed it over his bathroom door, pulled it tight and stepped off a chair to hang himself.
Sorry, I just DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. |

You don't need a gun to commit suicide. Japan has a much higher suicide rate than the USA with almost no guns involved.
If someone is intent on suicide, they will find a way. I am tired of all the whining about guns used in suicides. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
