Too bad an 'assault weapon' wasn't used in Sandyhook.

How A Patient's Suicide Changed A Doctor's Approach To Guns
Quoted Text
Suicide prevention researcher Dr. Matthew Miller, at the Harvard School of Public Health, says Dumont sounds like a great doctor. "He was doing everything he could to try to keep this guy from making a suicide attempt, but what he didn't do was the second step, which is make it hard for him to die if he did make an attempt," Miller says.
The second step, Miller says, is asking patients if they have guns in the house or access to guns. If someone tries to commit suicide without using a gun, they probably won't succeed. "The likelihood of their dying is of an order of magnitude lower," he says. "Instead of there being a 90-plus percent chance of death, there's a greater than 90 percent chance that they'll live."

If someone wants to leave this world that should be up to the person, I think it is selfish to keep someone here against their will and to deny them the fastest and easiest escape.

Box wants to hold gun owners hostage for the suiciders.
And yes, if you f'ing care so much about suicides, get rid of the 2 leading causes, police jobs and the military.
That will also get rid of more than half the guns, so box will be happy.

I somewhat agree with you Henry. But there are many suicides that should be prevented, especially when the person is not thinking rationally. Many teen and young adult's suicide are done on a whim... a bad break up and they end their life. If the suicide attempt is interrupted or fails, the teen never commits suicide.
For some people, especially at end of life situations or with untreatable painful or progressive disease, an assisted suicide is an act of kindness.
