    This is ridiculous. It is not because there's a gun in the house. A gun is a tool, people assume it is the gun's fault. It's not. Guns won't kill you, the person who's holding it does. Yeah, it does increase the risk of them committing suicide with a gun. But even if there wasn't a gun in the house, they'd probably find one if they were desperate enough or even find a different way to kill themselves. There's tons of ways to commit suicide. Not just guns.

    This is too funny. it's like saying because there is a rope in the house someone will hang themselves.
    A rope is more likely to kill a loved one than hang a wreath. How about razor blades?
    So if we remove all of the guns, rope and razor blades, Together we can end suicide.
