I find it odd that @alandrummond2 and other physicians are hyper focussed on firearms and suicide. Is their finger pointing to keep themselves from looking in the mirror? https://t.co/dWpw6bHQkf https://t.co/XIENeNlnVV
@alandrummond2 However suffocation and poisonings are over 70% of suicides. https://t.co/dWpw6bHQkf
@alandrummond2 There were 397 documented suicides by overdose (mean age 49.1 years, 50% female). Most substances detected were psychotropic prescription medications (n = 245), followed by other prescription medications (n = 143) https://t.co/XIENeNlnVV htt

@ibbirdman The truth of the matter is MAID, or Medical suicide is actually number 1 if you take that into account. Firearms are a distant 4 and dropping. Hanging is #1 officially and rising. https://t.co/XgQNN0prdP https://t.co/ybxafYpvHY
@ibbirdman You might want to familiarize yourself with the data first. Suicide methods shift, bans don't solve anything. The only way to address the issue is to attack the why people become suicidal part. Once they do, they have plenty of ways of carrying

@Stanehill @tiggurai @PamDamoff Except suicides by firearms have decreased steadily since the 80s, despite no major changes to gun laws since the late 70s beyond the useless long gun registry and prohibition of short barrelled pistols. https://t.co/v2ev8
@Hedge1337 @duchofb_dorothy @PamDamoff No it doesn’t. About 16% of suicides are caused by guns. They just find alternate means. Gun related suicides have dropped since the 80s while suffocation related suicides have increased. https://t.co/v2ev8PJbiM
@ckelvidge @duchofb_dorothy @PamDamoff Bullshit. Firearms related suicides have been decreasing since the early 80s until 2007 when they flattened out. Why spend hundreds of dollars on a gun to do the job that a couple bucks worth of rope can handle. Hence

Looking to Canadian data our firearm suicides are predominantly men over 65, with adolescents taking up a small percent of increasingly declining numbers. Safe storage saves lives. I think a Canada vs USA comparison here proves that. https://t.co/ndRlhg

Here's the thing. The government targets nothing. If you are referring to gun control, suicide prevention is the last thing on their mind.
