No, it's not.

This is the story of a friend's nephew. The kid actually finished his homework before hanging himself:

Administrators kept quiet about student’s breakdown before suicide: suit

Suicide by hanging is easy. It's gruesome as fuck but, unless you're holding a really sharp knife, once you kick that chair over it's a done deal...

RIP. Very sad. Mental health is another issue.

Most opioids are available only on prescription. In early 2010s there was a pandemic of prescription drug abuse.

They are not banned and are readily available on the black market

Sad but true. Guns enable over 10,000 murders and over 20,000 suicides each year.

Those murders.....70-80% of the victims are criminals murdered by other criminals, and the majority of the remaining victims are the friends and family of criminals who are hit in the crossfire, or killed when the criminal is targeted for murder.....

Meanwhile, 1.1 million times a year, Americans use their legal guns to stop rapes, robberies, murders, beatings, stabbings, mass public shootings....according to the Centers for Disease control...or 1.5 million times a year according to the Department of Justice research.....

Can you tell which numbers are bigger?

Possession and sale of illegal drugs is a serious felony.

All human life is precious. I do not value avian life -- I eat tons of chicken. But humans have G-dly souls.

Sad but true. Guns enable over 10,000 murders and over 20,000 suicides each year.

And at least 100,000 instances of self defense.

A Texas man fatally shot his 11-year-old daughter Saturday in what appears to have been a hunting accident, officials said.

The child was identified as Daisy Grace Lynn George, a sixth-grader in junior high school in the Hallsville Independent School District, Harrison County Sheriff’s Capt. Tyler Owen said.


Harrison County is in northeastern Texas along the Louisiana border.

The girl’s father, who has not been publicly identified, has not been charged with any crimes, Owen said. The man was hunting when he was unloading a high-powered rifle, which fired and struck his daughter once, Owen said.

Although the investigation is ongoing, Owen said, the shooting appears to have been a tragic accident. “For it to be a father and daughter is just a horrible situation,” he said.

Dispatchers began receiving 911 calls at about 5:15 p.m. Saturday about a "hunting accident involving an 11-year-old female," the sheriff’s office said in a statement. "Further calls determined that a father had accidentally shot his 11-year-old daughter."

Air transportation was requested, the sheriff’s office said, but all emergency helicopters were grounded because of inclement weather. The critically wounded girl was transported with a police escort to Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, where she was pronounced dead, officials said.

How do you shoot someone when you're unloading a gun? How would a rifle discharge when you don't have your finger on the trigger?

Should a safety test be required before you can buy a gun?


RIP

Responsible gun owners my arse. If he can't tell his daughter from a turkey, he shouldnt have a gun.
No mention of that nut that blasted the school in Minnesota. Another gun nut.
But you'll all accept it as collateral damage for freedom.
Well done nut jobs.
