No, but it’s causing suicide attempts turn into suicides. If you try to OD or whatever, your chances of death are much lower than if you try to see what the barrel of your gun tastes like.
But I am NOT interested in simply removing a person’s capacity to kill themselves and then leaving their desire to kill themselves intact…and then ignoring the conditions that are making hordes of people depressed enough to kill themselves.
I’m also 100% interested in the people who are depressed but who aren’t suicidal. I want people to live their best lives. This conversation should be about them, about what’s causing this about whether we can help. I want to know what’s wrong. I want them to stop wanting to kill themselves.

I’m all for banning guns.
