Unfortunately such a hot topic in the recent:
 
I wanted to start a new thread as this touches on multiple interesting facts.
 
Mentioning suicide stats...I interpret the author as meaning restrictive gun laws won't help as much as mental health advocacy potentially could. Short; if someone wants to take their own life they're going to figure out a way to do it.
 
I say that knowing several good friends who indeed committed suicide with a firearm over the years. Although I very much miss these friends...I do not for a second blame the firearm.
 
Let me know what you think of the read.

Everyone in the media knows these facts but they are not allowed to report them otherwise they would be fired.Another stat not covered, Veterans who commit suicide, most have never been deployed. They never saw combat. I hope people start waking up to the facts and not the rhetoric but it seems hopeless.   4951

If someone wants to commit suicide they will. As for veteran suicide, sorry, too many others have fought in the military and actually fought in the military.  Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem
 
@Stealth83:
 
Completely agreed. 4951

These stats line up with what I have researched on my own.  The really disheartening thing is when I see any discussion on the topic, about half of those discussing it don't understand the difference between absolute number relationships and percentages.  Probably half of the half that doesn't get it simply doesn't want to for political reasons, and the rest probably didn't get past 8th grade math.  4951
