that makes no sense as if 54% of gun deaths are suicides people who get to that point have some sort of mental issues either at that time or for years before that. Now is that to say that all those people have a long-standing issue with mental health no though I do have a hard time believing that the number is just four percent, but people who are thinking perfectly clearly and are mentally sound at a particular moment generally do not attempt or complete suicide with a gun or any other means for that matter. Even if that does hold true though does not change the fact that most gun deaths are completed not with the guns most people wish to regulate more, but with the guns that already have the highest age to lawfully purchase.
that is indeed the million dollar question and one that I think has much to do with people watching people. By this I mean, that shootings and likely suicides have been stopped by people ratting on other people either to the law or otherwise to medical assistance or with minors sometimes even parents. Sometimes you will even see more than one of the above.
and again as it relates to violence taking suicide out of it people who do things like mass shootings do not care about laws and at this point there are more guns than people anyway. Most gun violence is likely either the result of other violent crime or often gang violence. The other common thing is people who would die anyway that is harsh and cold yes, but I am talking about situations where person A wants person or persons B deceased badly enough where they will have it done one way or another ( usually these are cases where the victim and suspect know each other/ Of total gun deaths VERY few are true blue random mass shootings usually they are either, suicide, committed in some other act of violence, committed by or on behalf of gangs or committed by people who want a particular person or persons dead badly enough that they would use just about anything to get it done.
thank you people who attempt or complete suicide are certainly not mentally sound or stable at that particular moment or if they are they very wrongly and get that think that people would be better off without them for some reason. Now, not all of those people have long-standing mental health issues and sometimes they may have issues that are not discovered until it too late and people get to looking back and see that there was probably a disorder there that was untreated I have heard of at least one case like that. However, no one attempts or completes suicide without some type of mental issue at some point.
I'm going to repeat this again because you conveniently ignored it:
Mass shootings and suicides are different victims. The 4% are mass shooters who had verifiable mental illness. Meaning 4% of mass shooters suffered mental illness. The 54% of gun deaths in America are suicides. Indicating suicides are far more likely to only take their own lives and not commit mass shootings. Perhaps it is not my reading comprehension at issue here lol.
so does that mean that we should give up our freedom because a small percentage of people do not know how to act?
So if I hunted big game with tomahawk missiles, they should also be available?
Trouble is people that do that do not care 300 million guns people that do not trust the government probably going to end in more violence than it would prevent.
