How high are the rates of suicide, and accidental death due to gunshot wounds?
no higher than the suicide or accidental death rates anywhere else. it's patently irrelevant how someone chooses to top themselves, for they are surely just as dead, irrespective of the method used, and the accident-prone soon find themselves having one accident or another... some will be fatal. again the method isn't nearly as interesting to note as it might seem on the surface.
No.
Someone might change their mind about topping themselves altogether... if the appropriate tools were not immediately to hand.
Yeah. Kinda hard to slaughter a million dark-skinned people when all you've got is a feather duster and some soil based building materials.
You want to know how our government deals with suicide? On our main bridge leading traffic into the city they built a higher protective fence so now people just climb up higher to jump off.
Money well spent! :Smug:
quite funny for an Englishman to call an American out on his country's "bloody past". irony, thy name is drew.
pfffftt... thanks CK... apprently in the UK, one can only kill oneself with guns.. and there's never ropes, drugs, or bridges around.
i'd love to see how Japan would fare if it shared a border with Mexico.
