That’s why the gun lobby nails it – the propaganda they use to sell guns creates more issues to use as propaganda to sell guns.

People’s gut feelings about how suicide works are often demonstrably wrong. Means reduction and survivability are huge factors in prevention.

Would you have built a deck if you had a tool that built decks instantly and with no effort whatsoever?

The pro-gun crowd doesn’t care. There’s no such thing as a body they won’t sweep under the rug and suicide makes it easy.

And look at that, here you still are, pushing analogies to their breaking point, a second chance that thousands of people never got because they had access to a firearm.

The is no level of “worse” that will make the people responsible willingly change.

The “Inflation” that is crushing people is almost entirely down to executive greed. They’re bringing in record profits, giving themselves giant bonuses and not letting even a crumb escape their snout. COVID showed them they could take even more from people so now that the supply issues have settled, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

And they’ll never feel bad about it. They’re the people who told the radium girls to make a point on their brush by sucking it. They’re the people who put formaldehyde in milk and shrugged when it killed children. They’re the people who don’t even try to hide the foreign and domestic slaves in their supply lines. They’re the people who told us that cigarettes were good for our lungs as they buried research saying the opposite. They’re the ones who astro-turfed and bribed people into doing nothing about climate change.

They’re not going to start suddenly feeling guilty, because if that was an emotion they were capable of, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

The only way to stop this is to put limits on how much they can line their own pockets. No more tax loopholes for the rich, no more insane wages and bonuses, no more brutal exploitation of foreign workers.

Because if there’s a dollar they think they can get their hands on, they’ll do reprehensible things to make it happen.

Well whatever you may have personally gained from it, that doesn’t change the fact that it has an awful lot of members who are both far-right and pushing embarrassingly bad pesudo-science.
