Guns work well in my neighborhood- 20+ years and the worst crime is a couple kids stealing from cars left unlocked, 6 miles away in Frost district they have murder on live tv. But to address your point, guns in good hands saves lives, guns in blue areas are deadly. 1

Presumably, the families and friends of the 7,920 people lost to gun suicide wish that their loved one didn’t have access to the weapon that ended their life. More guns, more open carry, more stand your ground laws, etc equals more danger to all (owner as well as others) in society.
Roundybout Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Absolutely. When your entire ideology is hatred and fear, this is the end result.

Presumably those with family that committed suicide don't care how they did it, simply why. More guns does not equal more danger to society since guns have been around and widely available for over 100 years and yet the danger from them has become much worse in only liberal areas over the past 40 years.
