Suicide rates in the US are highest among elderly men, and most involve guns, CDC report says - Lemmy.World

Senior men have higher rates of suicide than average, and firearms were involved in more than three-quarters of those deaths in 2021, according to a CDC report

Good job in taking a serious issue and putting an unnecessary partisan spin on it, CNN. The issue of guns needs to be sidelined when talking about issues as serious as suicide.

If Republicans actually gave a shit about mental health maybe we wouldn't have so many gun suicides.

So suicide is a republican problem hey.

Get a grip.

They're the ones who keep saying "it's not a gun problem it's a mental health problem" and then doing fuck all to improve mental health, so yeah.

In this instance they ate actually correct.

If you understand suicide even a little bit you would know men do not fuck about when it comes to suicide. There is little in between, no cry’s for help they are rare. guns are a tool to achieve the outcome and the statistics will never change.

So this click bait title and stupid anti-gun garbage does not help and makes the issue harder to resolve. Men will ALWAYS be the higher suicide rate no matter what. Social support systems and mental health stigma for men needs to change.

Up next water is wet.

Your oversimplification was unnecessary the first time, stop copypasting your comments.
Said the asshole adding nothing to the topic
