That kind of gun-assisted suicide at least, for sure. There’s still deaths of despair that are far from selfish acts, and moreso acts of desperation.
The only suicide that is acceptable to me is when a person is terminally ill or disabled and suffering. Depression is no excuse for suicide, ever. Depression is a curable disease and typically can vastly improve by an environment change.
It’s rare to find a lack of empathy, intelligence together with ignorance in one single comment. Well done.
90% of people cannot afford and environment change, not that such cures depression. Some people are less treatable, and many depression medications actually heighten suicidal feelings.
Those are excuses not solutions.
That’s what you offer. You don’t just magically cure mental illness. Nor do you just magically have money to change your situation.
Helluva lot easier to say when you’re not actively in the depths of it
depression cured by drugs is not a cure and ironically often lead to more suicide since it lightens the depression enough to get the person to take action.
Depression can be cured through various means, sometimes it might be a chemical imbalance, sometimes it’s environmental, sometimes a person might have the wrong perspective. Talking honestly is always the first step. A gun isn’t.

As a military veteran, I give a shit. Having access to a gun seems a lot easier to those in despair than seeking help. It’s why it’s important we make access to firearms extremely difficult in the future.
this. why does anyone else have a say in if I live or die outside of me. FYI i am not looking to die but when I decide to I want to be “allowed” to. and I don’t give a fuck if someone else thinks the reason is not adequate.
