I had a good friend back in California, when I lived in Paradise up in Butte County who ended his life, and I was working in my garage when I heard the shot. He had been in a great deal of emotional pain and was clearly deep in suicidal ideation before he did it. None of us could talk to him, he would just rant on and on why he needed to end it. He'd lost his job as a fire captain and just could not imagine himself as anything else. He wasn't capable of re-inventing himself and was committed to ending it. Aside from his professional loss he'd endured great relationship troubles, and from his view there was no point to life and far too much pain in going on. He even tried to get me to loan him a gun, and of course I refused, but he got one anyway elsewhere.
I think he just lacked the strength to go on, and the ability to start over, and re-invent his life. He was a deeply emotional man, and deeply wounded by life. Years later I can only think he was more susceptible to the lure of suicide than the rest of us, and saw it as the only escape from the pain he was living with. I don't think it's so much what drives people to suicide, as how susceptible they are to it. My friend lacked the inner strength to bear up and endure, and caved in to despair. So very sad, he was such a great guy, and that was the very worst way to lose a friend.
that's a reason we dont have guns in ENGLAND, on the spot suicide . I would have been dead long ago if a gun present, no thinking straight pick it up BANG . SUICIDE in England is under a train , hanging, jumping off high place, pills are way down the list

Oh but you DO have guns in England, they are just illegal guns, and criminals don't care about the laws.

criminals have guns yes, and special force police have guns, farmers have a licence for a shot gun. But every mentally ill person has not go access to a gun by walking in a gun shop and buying one. NO ONE IN ENGLAND CAN JUST BUY A GUN like buying a bag of sweets. Caught wit a gun doing nothing would get you 10 years in prison. What a silly post, America has hundreds of gunshot suicide you can count them on 1 hand in ENGLAND

Yes, well don't you think you are getting a bit off-topic? Perhaps your anti-gun rant would be more appropriate in another thread and forum.
The truth not gun rant . you can do has you like its your country just stating suicide facts . I just thought of you best one. DEATH BY COP
Check your spelling and grammar, and yes, your posts do have the quality of a rant. Perhaps you would care to contribute to the thread instead of airing your political issues here.
