    Sorry; long running and usually amicable disagreement on the death penalty. Pay it no mind.

    are guns the pollutant or just the easiest way to "off" yourself? Decent reporting but if someone wants to commit suicide than they'll find the means to do it.

    Gotta call bullshit on that, I know two people personally that tried to drink bleach to kill themselves, their both alive and well. If they would have had guns that exact moment they would be dead, period.

    You are right that the lethality of guns means that far fewer people survive an attempt and have an opportunity to get treatment such that they are no longer suicidal. This is particularly true for teens, who may impulsively attempt suicide and then quickly regret it, if they live.

    I can't think of a way to resolve a serious medical emergency without a car.
    How else do people get to the hospital?
    Your own car, or a car called an ambulance.
    If you include preventative care given when you drive to the hospital or doctor, it skyrockets.

    Who lives within walking distance of a hospital? Who is going to walk to the hospital when they have a heart attack or stroke?

    Hilarious. And scary.

    I liked this bit: "We had quite a number of church members, some elderly ladies, for example, and some not so elderly women that had purchased guns, but didn’t know how to use them,” Guin said.

    Yeah if you're really that worried about someone storming your bedroom you should install a better door and deadbolt. Or just stay up all night locked and loaded.

    Another life lost while sleeping shot a 2 year old. Check out the video with kids taught NOT to touch a gun but take a look at what they actually do.
