“Philadelphia’s first openly gay deputy sheriff apparently died by suicide just before the city’s annual Pride parade and festival, authorities said.”
Studies have shown that decisions about suicide are often fleeting and impulsive. Because guns are the most lethal means of suicide these impulsive fleeting decisions end up leading to death more often with access to guns. Studies have shown that about 80% of people who attempt to kill themselves do not attempt again. Most gun deaths are suicides. Better laws and less access reduces gun suicides.
