The suicide component of the gun debate

[freshwest]

45. 'getting rid of all the guns creates a problem for those of us who rationally want to end our lives'

Are you advocating people who want to purchase a gun to kill themselves be allowed to get an exemption under law?

Do you propose legislation to that effect?

Why would 'anti-legislation gunners' as you refer to them, would go for legislation which could make them appear to be mentally ill?

As a matter of common sense to protect the seller, no one would want to be complicit in that. To purchase for suicide is not something most would admit to wanting a gun for in practice and doubt they'd ever do that. It precludes rational reasons to exercise their 2A rights.

So there is no 'gun freedom' (a new meme in this thread) or a clause in gun control legislation for suicide would be allowed. I think this thread is interesting, but is putting forth premises which has nothing to do with the purpose of this group, as we don't want to be on the hook for supporting the right to die by firearm in legislation.

JMHO.
