I do agree that suicide is a risk, and that guns increase the risk by making it very easy, 100%. I'm not gunna choose a side for you either, it's a hard one.

I do want to note two things though. It doesn't need to be a full blown civil war for them to start abusing and arresting trans people, and many trans suicides are caused by transphobia, both from other citizens and from government policy.
