Because we don't allow euthanization, this is not the land of free when you can't die freely. Everyone is enslaved until there is truly freedom to decide how to end their own. Nobody wants to die a slow painful death.

My guess is that Vox's study methodology is misleading. They are probably measuring 'ownership' by way of some statistical sampling of gun possessors who legally purchased and maintain their firearm.

Young men - of any color - who get possess a gun for the limited period of time it takes to comit a murder tend not to legally purchase and maintain the firearm. So they woud be under-represented in the sampling.

This.

The homicide rate among the whites is about the same as in the Western Europe.

The homicide rate among the blacks is on Africa levels.

All of the gun control debates always concentrate on legally owned guns.

That's racist hate speech. I'm telling Loretta.

I have no idea? Is there any data that might provide some answers? Any aggregate data collected from surviving friends or relatives of those who committed these suicides to determine if there is a pattern or a trend or a similar underlying condition that might provide insight? I never knew this was an actual statistic, so I have no idea as to what the catalyst could be.
