Taking Guns Doesn't Prevent Suicide

John Petrolino has written an important article on firearms and suicide at  Ammoland entitled Freedom Groups Exploiting Suicide. Spoiler alert: taking guns away does nothing to stop suicide. He has the statistics to prove it.

A hat tip to David Codrea at the War On Guns website.  Petrolino writes:

If Handgun Control Inc (Brady) had any real interest in this subject, they’d be teaming up with the NSSF, because they already have and have had, the go-to program on this subject. NSSF has put a lot of work into suicide awareness and also keeping firearms out of the hands of both children and disqualified persons. Unlike Brady, NSSF puts their money where their mouth is and has distributed over 38,000,000 gun locks, for free, for citizens to use and secure their firearms.

Calling Brady, come in Brady. Are you giving out locks? Do you have what it takes to put your money where your mouth is?

The answer to that is a simple “no”. They Don’t have what it takes. Instead, they are a group intent on stripping people of their rights, while tap-dancing on their namesake’s tragedy.

Look, the gun grabbers are coming after us with a vengence. They have been waiting to have the Dems get in the cat bird seat again, and they can't wait. Of course, they don't really care about suicides, or for that matter crime, including school shootings. No, the real goal is to relieve you and me of guns. They want a monopoly of violence so that they can shove socialism down our throats. And, of course, their "by any means necessary" philosophy means they will use any issue, no matter whether they have to lie or twist the truth. Thank God for John Petrolino.
