    If you understand suicide even a little bit you would know men do not fuck about when it comes to suicide. There is little in between, no cry’s for help they are rare. guns are a tool to achieve the outcome and the statistics will never change.

    So this click bait title is just stupid anti-gun garbage. Men will ALWAYS be the higher suicide rate no matter what.

    Up next water is wet.

      Toxic masculinity is what you’re describing. It’s very prevalent in the US. Guns are part of that toxic male culture.

      If you understood even a little bit about suicide you would understand that sucidial ideation proceeds action, and ideation involves stimulus from the immediate locale.
