BF2S Forums Gun politics, firearms ownership, and US 2nd amendment discussion

Mah monie$!!!

Suicide by gunshot wound is the most common form of suicide. It accounts for about 50% of all suicides in the US. I think it's relevant, especially to the discussion regarding otherwise sane people using an extremely efficient tool for killing in an emotional lapse of judgement.

@MajorSpittle- yep, you nailed it.  Despite me multiple times saying i'm pro-gun and that I like shooting guns, every time I go to the range I pee myself because I'm so scared of them.  And when I see a mexican or black person I cross to the other side of the street (unless I've got a gun tucked away on my person - then I puff out my chest and gesture for him/her to come get sum). Thank you for your attempts at emasculating me, as if owning a gun makes you more of a man- wait, that may be it!  It may be that hardcore gun nuts like yourself are so fucking insecure about their manhood that they need a strap on the side of their hip to validate their manliness!

gun violence and mental health are tied at the hip, bro.  Unfortunate reality.

Suicide prevention is a mental health issue, not a gun control issue.

having a gun makes it a lot easier innit.

Do you disapprove of assisted suicide?

I'm generally an advocate of assisted suicides.  What's your point?

Yes, easier.  That's why it accounts for 50% of all suicides.  It's the easiest, most efficient way to do it.

And?

Suicide by gun is definitely relevant, as it is a public health concern.

What is wrong with being afraid of guns? I like looking at /r/gunporn on reddit and shooting them on vacation. But I don't like the idea of a stranger or untrained stranger being able to take their gun and shot me in the head on a whim. At least if they took an axe or halberd out I would have a fighting chance or someone could maybe stop them.

I know it isn't considered manly or masculine to say you don't like guns but it sounds like a form of toxic masculinity when men have to act like they aren't scared of guns or being shot.

So you are afraid of cars and drills.  Nobody wants to be ran over, so I imagine you are afraid of some bad driver causing a head on collision.  Nobody wants to have a drill bit ran through their eye socket and out the back of their head either so you probably don't like the idea of a stranger pinning you to the ground and slowly doing that either.

No, it is ok to be a big pussy.  Just keep plenty of tissues in your purse Captain Vagina.

wow, these forums.

Hmm. I am probably the most drill and car accustomed person here since Reciprocity left (He was really into guns). Drills and cars are not designed to specifically damage things. Cars are to take Asian girls places and drills to put their furniture together. Guns are only used to destroy things. Not really the same.



according to his profile, Reciprocity is from Oregon. He is probably in there with them

Indeed. You are truly the rightful heir to M3thod's legacy.

I never said suicide is rational. Some people are just miserable. If someone is in such a shitty place that they want to end it, preventing them from doing so is a form of torture.
