(20,905 posts)Because you have determined a complete and absolute gun ban is the only option. That is the beginning and end of the solution as you have presented it.
As for banning guns being the Panacea to correct the problem of suicide, ask Japan how that works out. I have worked with high-risk suicide persons before. Those who are serious about ending their lives will often attempt to obtain a gun first. If that is not possible or will take time, a high bridge or building is the next preferred option.
We have reduced deaths by 50% Why not study what is already working and build on that?
The CDC has reported defensive gun use is at least as common as criminal use. What will you say to those victims, who will far outnumber any reduction in homicide and suicide? Are they just another little suffering we have to accept?
