Guns, suicide & me

A new study from the Harvard School of Public Health shows a direct link between guns in the home and suicide rates. This should surprise no one except NRA members. As someone who has suffered with, and continues to suffer with, serious depression and who has made three serious suicide attempts in his life I can tell unequivocally that if, at any of those three times, I had had access to a gun it is almost certain that one of them would not have been an attempt but a success.
