Yep, what a surprise, you can't find any organisations that agree with you, even though your clearly the expert.
Even more fascinating is when you finally start pulling out extracts, you struggle to not contradict yourself.
So you're adamant that guns have nothing to do with the suicide rate, then immediately paste a quote about how lethality of method increases the suicide rate?
Do you think guns are more or less lethal than hanging you fucking dunce?
Don't bother answering, just repeat "b-b-bhut Australia" over and over again, pointing at a policy that didn't target suicide prevention.
Maybe you can follow it up with throwing a tantrum because people aren't discussing exactly what's in the title, even as you gloss over the "U.S" part so that you can use an island with 14 guns per capita to a country with 120 guns per capita.
So you have no evidence no study and no statistics to support your baseless claims and generalisations. I thought so.
A pathetic political wedge attempt.
Repeatedly linked. Have the gun lobby built a GPT bot and taught it to sealion?
You should get a job at a suicide hotline and when people call up, ask them if they've considered buying a cool gun and shooting things because after all, it makes no difference at all if you give suicidal people firearms.
You know, because Australia banned semi-automatic weapons.
So more generalisations no studies no statistics, nothing of value to the conversation. More baseless claims and empty straw manning. Keep up the good work big oil.
