Reply #59: That's nonsense, plain and simple.

The suicide rate in the US is a lot lower than other countries where guns are scarce or nearly nonexistant. There has never been any evidence to suggest that people who commit suicide with guns would magically be leading happy and fulfilling lives if they didn't own a gun--as opposed to, say, using pills, or running their car into a tree, or jumping off a bridge.

And I just explained: gun accidents are at an all time low in this country, just as the number of guns is at an all time high. There is zero correlation between the number of guns and the number of gun accidents.

Guns are not magically more dangerous when they're kept in a nightstand as opposed to a safe.
