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 |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
