The annual U.S. firearm suicide rate in 2022 increased to the highest documented level since at least 1968, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Yeah but I’m not so sure we should be allowing people to make that choice on a whim because they’re depressed or feeling down at the time. Humans are wildly impulsive sometimes.
They’re not drive thru places. Typically you have to go thru counseling and thru evaluations to make sure it’s what you want. But right now people are just buying guns to blow their heads off and leaving their body for first responders or their family to find. People are always going to kill themselves, you might as well make it a clean and dignified end.
Who would use it when they have pro-gun assisted suicide?
For doctor-assisted suicide, you need to be over 18 anywhere it’s available.
But for pro-gun suicide, children only need a “responsible gun owner” in the house with a poorly secured firearm, thanks to their staunch opposition of safe storage laws and need to be 3 second from a gun at all times.
For doctor-assisted suicide, you generally need to be terminally ill first and undergo a psychological evaluation to ensure you’re mentally capable of making an informed decision.
But for pro-gun suicide, you can kill yourself without even the most token effort to cure your mental health problems, thanks to their staunch opposition to red flag laws. Their only requirement is “not a felon” and they even ensure you can get around it with a private sale loophole.
For doctor-assisted suicide, you usually need the approval of two doctors, both of which have years of medical school to pay off and neither of which your sleazy insurance company will want to pay for.
But for pro-gun suicide, a cheap handgun can be yours for under $200, because that’s what someones life is worth to them.
For doctor-assisted suicide, you will usually have a minimum waiting period between your first and second requests, to ensure you’re not making an impulsive decision.
But for pro-gun suicide, you can do it on a whim. Even if you haven’t surrounded yourself with super cool guns already, the waiting period is typically only a few days and if you’re lucky enough to live in a pro-gun state, there might be no minimum waiting period at all.
For doctor-assisted suicide, the medication is very deliberately dispensed to ensure there is no danger to anybody else.
But for pro-gun suicide, take all the people you want with you when you go. Family members, a room full of terrified children, a bunch of minorities some Discord channel insisted were the reason your life sucks – the pro-gun community don’t even pretend to care, let alone do something about it.
Ultimately, doctors just can’t compete with the cheap, accessible, fast and poorly considered suicides offered by American gun laws. Why else do you think they’ve skyrocketed?
Because it’s definitely not because terminally ill people are deciding to end their life without the dignity of keeping their brains inside their skull – an idea that is so thoroughly stupid that I’m having a hard time believing your intention is anything more than simply making the statistics around firearms look better.
Legalize doctor assisted suicide. Let people end their lives with dignity.
Bruh I’d vote for this

People are always going to kill themselves, but programs like MAID make it more attractive to people that normally wouldn’t.
They’re already allowed…
