suicide?!

Many studies have been made that compare the rate of suicide with gun ownership. This is just dumb. If you are going to try and kill yourself, i highly doubt that just because a gun is a little harder to get you will change your mind. Once you have gotten to the point where you feel suicide is the only way out, im sure you could find a way to kill yourself that is just as effective as using a firearm. So all the studies saying that if you take away guns people will commit less suicide, those people are just wasting their time. And because its probably supplying the government with opinions, they are also probably wasting money.

Thats like me saying purses are now illegal to be carried. Because im a guy, this law would not affect me. However it would affect a lot of women that do use purses. I fell the government often times makes decisions on what is important to them rather than the people they are supposed to be representing.
