And NO my post isn't from a gunf***** perspective... but I will tell you that they WILL find a way.

I will edit for some personal details. My cousins boy committed suicide in the late 90's. The parents removed firearms from the house, hid razor blades, counted steak knives in the pantry, locked up prescription meds... and the boy walked in front of a train walking home from school after he'd ditched class (otherwise parents always dropped off/picked up)

You can't stop them...
