We're not advocating for giving wide access to guns for no reason, we're advocating for broad access to guns because we're a marginalized group under threat of Fascist pogromists and lynch mobs.
no, im not the one that started saying that, i started saying that giving wide access to guns for no reason to a population leads to an increase in people killing themselves cause killing yourself with a gun is very easy
after that all the chums began with the "ma'guns for selfdence" crap

the argument wasnt that owning a gun makes you want to kill yourself, the argument was that if you want to kill yourself and have a gun you very likely to die

This is a statistic which is commonly cited in a way that misrepresents causality.
Reality check- Owning a gun does not make you want to kill yourself. In the circumstances where someone wants to kill themself, a gun is a highly effective method of doing so. So, successful suicides often use guns.
