From the article: "Just 218 suicides, or 3.5 percent, occurred in rural communities. "
Sounds to me like not enough of a sample to be meaningful.
Also sounds like some anti-gun person with an agenda went looking to for another reason to bash guns.
Why are mental health problems always blamed for suicides? I had a friend with ALS who committed suicide. He had zero depression or mental health issues, but he wasn't going to spend the last three months of his life in bed on a respirator. It was a rational and reasonable choice under the circumstances. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
