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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
