Whatever fantasy you have fella.For clarity: This is the improved version of your argument?
No firearms do not make it any more or less lethal it makes it in some cases more convenient, second Only to the bottle of pills that is the most convenient . There is nothing more final than lethal, it doesn’t matter the tool used.True or false: Firearms make attempts at suicide more lethal?
It's a rhetorical question. Of course they do. Just as if you happen to live near the Golden Gate Bridge and you're suicidal, you have another very lethal means at your disposal.
If someone wants to take their own life, I regard that as a personal choice, and not a matter for government intervention. But I am sympathetic to the idea that, as a society, we shouldn't back away from getting people help and detering them from an impulse suicide decision. Education efforts in that regard, to me, are worthwhile. Mental health / support networks are worthwhile.
I'm not advocating for red flag laws. I'm simply pointing out the Nov 2. memo from the Whitehouse advocates no overrearch of their powers. I'm not saying they can be trusted not to go further. I'm sure they will. That battle should be fought as needed.
We have to be able to have conversations. If your attitude is "They can't say anything, because we know what their agenda is," then you missed your calling as a censor.

Ives worked and investigated many, many suicides. Being most were in Jackson County Georgia there was always a gun around, but it was last choice, unless you were trying to make a point and hurt the ones that loved you most. Guns make a huge mess that most don’t want to inflict to the people (loved ones) the sceen to horrific the ones that find the body
Don't worry, once the pamphlets are distributed we'll see suicide rates plummet. Good job comrade.Statistically, men succeed at suicide more often than women, and among the reasons cited by the various academic literature on this topic is that men tend to use more lethal means, most notably guns. In the U.S., stats say 50% of suicides are by firearm, and those are predominantly male. Per capita, male suicide is 3 to 4 times higher than female suicide.

So maybe all the pamphlets that taxpayers are going to pay millions for....or gun shop owners are going to have to spend their profits on....should be about suicide prevention...instead of redundant information about storage, treat the actual issue instead of targeting an inanimate product. While they are at it they should install suicide prevention bars and fences on bridges and buildings, put warning labels on knives and razorblades, and create medication bottles that will not allowStatistically, men succeed at suicide more often than women, and among the reasons cited by the various academic literature on this topic is that men tend to use more lethal means, most notably guns.

" The President continues to urge Congress to pass an appropriate national “red flag” law..."
That's where the evil BS will be hiding!
