Senior men have higher rates of suicide than average, and firearms were involved in more than three-quarters of those deaths in 2021, according to a CDC report
Suicide is a problem around the world, guns or not. Focus on the issue, not click-bait titles.
No it is not, Japan has a higher rate than we do and they basically don’t have firearms at all in their country.
No they don’t.

The US is 31, Japan is 49.
55% of suicides use guns:
It has been repeatedly and conclusively demonstrated that means reduction (which the pro-gun community won’t allow) and survivability (which guns don’t have) play an extremely important role in suicide prevention.
Guns are absolutely part of the issue. Unfortunately, the pro-gun community prioritises sweeping gun deaths under the rug to maintain their profits and possessions over actually protecting anyone.
You like to talk a lot about studies and data without actually providing studies or data.
Just reading through your profile is just a mess of “it has been proven”, “debunked”, “repeatedly shown”, etc., etc., or just the simple “no, your wrong”.
Quite honestly, it’s weird. While we all tend to use simple phrases during a discussion, I also like to at least provide a link or two or have a study within reach to back up my assumptions.
Your motivation is simply to piss people off, it seems.
It’s not my responsibility to spoon feed you information and you shouldn’t be trusting posts on social media just because they do.
There’s no better way to feed people dogshit than studies and graphs stripped of context.
Many do not, the fuck is wrong with you. The majority of gun deaths are suicides and it’s a single person taking their life.
America has “many” mass shootings because the baseline for other countries is “once a decade”, not because the number has many digits.
You’re either fully aware of this and being manipulative or you reacted emotionally without thinking – not a good trait for a gun owner, but one shared by all the ones who committed suicide or killed their partners.
