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.

It’s not about spoon feeding me information. It’s about validating your own claims.

Also, links on social media are completely visible and transparent. You should know exactly what they link to and were information is hosted. A good study will generally have good sample sizes and plenty of peer reviews.
