even if you got rid of all the guns in the U.S, the suicide rates would be the same
unfortunately this is not the case and again shows little understanding of the circumstances in which people kill themselves
broadly speaking people who commit suicide can be divided into 2 types - those who have given a degree of thought to taking their lives and those that kill themsleves almost as a rash decision - spur of the moment.
the ready availability of guns in both america and switzerland makes killing yourself as a result of a rash decision a lot easier than walking out of the house and finding a train to jump in front of.
its not a case of walking down to the gun shop so you can buy a gun and shoot yourself, its a case of having a fire arm at home, easily accessible in moments of distress. the process of putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger is a lot easier then taking pills and lying down waiting to die.
if you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger you cant change your mind, call the hospital and get your stomach pumped
this is the reason why both america and switzerland have the highest suicide-by-gun rates - becasue the are sitting at home in the drawer
Whatever Bubba, I just pointed out that when you are out of arguments you're stooping down to personal attacks
as i said - when you have something inteligent to say i will give you an inteligent reply - when you just babble without thought i will call you a clown
