“Firearms were also singled out by researchers” for being used in nearly 70 percent of veteran suicides, while they are used in less than half of non-veteran suicides. The disparity is obvious, but unexplainable”

Yeah, that’s a real brain teaser

How about we quit tossing our best people into foreign ****holes on foolish nation building exercises with their frigging hands tied behind their backs.

Obviously, what wasn't studied: Gun ownership among veterans vs. among the general civilian population.

for a suicidal person, a gun is a convenient means to accomplish the task. Taking away the gun doesn't take away the suicidal thoughts, so the task is accomplished by other means, such as pills, carbon monoxide, or wrist slitting.

Japan has for all intents and purposes no private gun ownership, but has a higher suicide rate than the U.S., proving that firearms do not cause suicide.
