    572,000 lives in 1999-2016. This is a tragedy.

    The obvious question of "so what?" must be asked with regard to the above. What ultimate, meaningful difference does such actually make?

    This is where we have a profound disagreement. In my opinion every Human Life is important.

    Not to those who no longer have any wish to continue living theirs, and wish only to go about ending it.

    From what authority, be it legal, moral or otherwise, do you dare speak to address hundreds of thousands of individuals and tell them that, not only is their view incorrect but also inferior to that of yourself, but also that your view on the matter is the only correct view to be had?

    I've been eyeballing options lately...

    I'm off Monday, I think it's time to go shopping for what normally I'd call a new "toy" but now might be considered as essential as toilet paper.

    Things are getting way too real around here.

    I might as well get my writing hand all relaxed because form 4473, here I come...

    I think it's safe to assume I pick up at least two, likely 3 new items, why hold back, I've been wanting to spend that stimulus on something practical.

    This is going to cost me a couple hundred more than it would have if I would have done this in feburary, but a worthwhile investment for sure.

    I am among 88% of Americans who believe the Old Testament. Suicide is a crime as great as murder.

    The number of lives saved by firearms is minuscule compared to the number of lives lost to firearms.

    Everyone should have an M1 Garand. I'm not even kidding. The all time ultimate battle tested tried and true rifle.

    If that's too big to handle, an M1 Carbine would do....

    And what would be done on the part of yourself to address such?

    SLIGHT CORRECTION HERE, PLEASE- APPLIES TO ALL YOUR NUMBERS:

    PRIMARY CAUSE OF THESE DEATHS: SOME PERSON WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE OR THEMSELVES.
    THE CHOICE OF THE METHOD TO KILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE WILL TO DO SO.
    KNIFE, GUN, HAMMER, FISTS, POISON- ALL BENIGN UNTIL A PERSON WITH THE DESIRE TO KILL IS PRESENT.
    PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. THEY HAVE DONE SO SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE HUMAN RACE.

    IF YOUR MESSAGE WAS TRUE- MURDER WOULD BASICALLY HAVE NOT EXISTED BEFORE THE INVENTION OF THE GUN.

    I had both.

    The Garand is living history. That along with a SMLE and a K98 might be the perfect trio of history rifles. All just incredible rifles. Had them all but sold them in the great “caliber condensing” of a few ago in my gun safe.

    Those were all sold to a someone I do not know.

    The M1 Carbine I sold to my father in law. That’s a fun gun. Love the sound it makes when shooting.

    Thanks now I want them all back! :(

    Maybe you haven't noticed but a lot of people have been getting shot.

    Living in a house with a gun increases your odds of death

    If you believe that nonsense then simply don’t own a firearm. Why do you care if I do?

    Most of people who "decide" to kill themselves suffer Severe Mental Disability. Lack of care for these people in USA is appalling. Lack of help for people in need is appalling.

    I have no influence.

    In an ideal World, millionaires and billionaires would be taxed heavily. This money would go into ensuring survival of people in need.

    That is true for everyone. The situation is MUCH MUCH worse for people with Mental Disability.

    American policy toward people in need is close to Democide. Lack of free and good medical care is a symptom. Lack of reasonable Welfare is a symptom. Availability of guns is a symptom.

    It is not a secret conspiracy. Most people in USA agree with such policies. Most taxpayers prefer not to pay taxes which may save lives.
