I am Jewish. I consider it a sin to place a stumbling block before the blind.

Most Jews, Christians, and Muslims would agree that enabling suicide is a great sin.

Then don't help......

Enabling suicide?

Guns enable suicidal and homicidal people to succeed.

As do trains, bridges, tall buildings, car exhaust, razors, ropes............

hanging the most popular way to commit suicide in several countries...

Where did this come from? Got a link?

Why would you put suicide on the list?
There are plenty of parking garages and other tall things to jump off of.
Or they can park the car in the garage and slam a bottle of whisky with the garage doors closed.

With most suicide methods, you have time to change your mind
With a gun, you have a split second

Most suicide attempts without a gun fail.

Very few people have strength and willpower to stab themselves.

Yet, guns are the leading means of suicide
By far

Why the fuck would you try and commit suicide with a fucken knife when there's plenty of tall structures to jump off of?

Trains.......that is another way......

Refusing to get a COVID shot is another way

So you're saying you have a 1% chance of missing your head from point blank range?
Why doesn't that surprise me......

Guns don't make people commit suicide. They are inanimate objects.

Apparently facts are not your 'strong suit,' but then you ARE a troll.

 

[Batcat]

Of course the fact that people defend themselves from street thugs and home invaders with firearms is totally ignored.

President Obama decided it would be a great idea to research how many times firearms are used for self defense so he commissioned a study on the subject by an executive order.

If you didn’t hear of this study it is because it didn’t support the views of liberals who want to ban and possibly confiscate civilian owned firearms.

I'll dispute that because I have never read where he said that. Unless you can provide the evidence I'll take it as a swipe at those wanting gun control. Or a lie.

Progressive mass murderers ALWAYS start off disarming their citizens: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, Pol Pot

Just look at Venezuela.
They confiscated all weapons and 6 years later they were killing citizens in the street.

Guns do not cause homicide, morons do that
Guns do not cause suicide, illness does that

Guns do enable you to express your opinion, so be thankful for guns

 

[Man of Ethics]

Just as free speech enables idiots like you to give bad opinions on things no one cares to hear about.

But speech does not cause big harm.

Guns are like Fentanyl and Opium -- they enable harm.

To be fair, I have not seen that quote attributed to Hitler either. Hitler did, however, disarm the German Jewish population starting in 1933. In 1936 the Gestapo prohibited the granting of firearms licenses to Jews as well. I think some pro-gun folks see gun prohibition as analogous to that admittedly now extreme example.

 

[Man of Ethics]

No...actually, they don't....just ask the Japanese.....they only allow criminals and select police have guns and their suicide rate is higher than ours....jumping in front of a bullet Train or off of a tall building has zero chance of failing.....

Sadly they do not view Suicide as a sin.

The same can be said of hard narcotics.

Knives, baseball bats, clubs, cars, even fists have all been used for harm as well. Shall we ban those too? A nail gun can kill as well, shall we ban them from jobsites? BTW I asked you for a link to your OP, haven't seen it yet. I would be interested to know where it came from.

And how much more narcotics would there be if there were no guns?

 

[Leo123]

The same can be said of hard narcotics.

Narcotics can be helpful if used properly. So can guns. It is not the substance or inanimate object is is the misuse that causes harm.
