Is buying a gun a suicidal act?

**Gunco** · 07-14-2008, 11:00 AM

Americans often buy guns for self-defense, a purpose that now has Supreme Court validation. But according to advocates of gun control, those purchasers overlook the people who pose the greatest threat: themselves. Anyone who acquires a firearm, we are told, is inviting a bloody death by suicide. As it turns out, the claims about guns and suicide don`t stand up well to scrutiny.

Someone hell bent to leave this world will find a way. The anti's are running thin on ammunition.

Good God. What next.
Antis meeting- "Come on you guys think think. Every state "Florida" where gun laws are eased. There has been a drop in crime. We tried everything so think think. Damn we tried that interview with the criminals in jail. Damn idiots said they fear the armed citizen, not the police."
"Now this problem with D.C.. Oh God if the crime rate drops 'which it will' were doomed. Think Think there has to be something to prove were correct."

If that's the case, I've committed suicide multiple times already

I can guarantee ya, that if someone has to end up dying at the muzzle end of one of my firearms, it sure as Hell ain't going to be me.

The Big Brown Box pulls in my driveway once a week.

"AHHHHHH more gun parts. WTF. When are you going to get rid of this filthy rug. When are you going to paint the walls. When are you..."
I just get on the phone and order more parts. Crap I don't even need. That shuts her up.
