I wish the suicide rate was factored more into conversations about taking guns away due to "violent crime".

Absolutely - the protective aspect of guns against "violent crime" is far outweighed by the risk of someone shooting themselves.

    This line of arguing isn't nearly as convincing as you think it is.

    Gun owners don't need more guns, they need therapy!

      Gun owners don't need more guns, they need therapy! (This post is hilarious since gun owners frequently call shooting "therapy". Many gun owners would unironically say/type this exact same comment. Congrats, you played yourself.)

        I personally think therapy is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health!

        >I personally think therapy is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health! "I personally think therapy (shooting targets) is great and will help gun owners protect themselves from the greatest threat they face, which is their mental health (greatest threat all Americans face)!" Imagine posting exactly what a pro-gun target shooter would post and think it's snark. Congrats, you just played yourself again. Thanks for agreeing.

        I think the fact that a pro-gun target shooter wouldn't seek real therapy is sad since they're a danger to themselves :( Imagine all the therapy they could have gotten with the money they wasted on guns!

        >I think the fact That's not a fact, it's a delusion you just invented. >that a pro-gun target shooter wouldn't seek real therapy Shooting is real therapy. It's therapeutic. >is sad since they're a danger to themselves :( Everyone is a danger to themselves. >Imagine all the therapy they could have gotten with the money they wasted on guns! Expendable income and health insurance are two completely different buckets of money. Three times in a row you've played yourself. You're batting like the Washington Nationals.
