Rate of suicide increases year by year due to multiple factors. Sadly, there is no end in sight yet.


The sign that I saw (please see Fig 01) to ask people to store their gun securely in order to help prevent suicide.

This is one of important strategies to limit access to firearms, especially to who has higher risk to perform suicide, such as:

- individuals in mental crisis

- teenagers

- and even gun owner who has personal history of suicide risk.


What do you think?

  4. It is a crisis! Indeed. And those who have firearms seriously need to be aware of these problems and should make sure to have things like this locked away.

  6. It is a very good idea that people in mental crisis and teenagers do not have access to firearms.
    In the case of the third option, it seems to me that the best thing would be a medical examination and a doctor's decision, based on that.
