    But the vast majority of attempts without firearm are unsuccessful.

    And what is your source that has caused you to arrive at that conclusion?

    Demonstrate such a claim to be factually correct, rather than a mere assumption devoid of actual evidence.

    The only reason attempts at suicide fail, are because the individuals making the attempt are not truly suicidal to begin with. Nor does it explain how leaping from a tall building, or being struck by a motor vehicle, is less successful, or less lethal than utilizing a firearm.

    But what are the chances of being at a train station when the impulse to commit suicide strikes?

    Most train stations are within close driving distance.

    What is the statistical probability of a particular individual being engaged in the purchase of a firearm when the supposed impulse to commit suicide overcomes them?

    Definitely. Suicide is a great sin.

    why do you want to deprive your neighbor of the most effective method of ending her life?

    This is assuming that the American Journal of Public Health did an accurate study.

    Social Darwinism is evil. I am grateful to my parents for their support. They also prevented me from becoming an alcoholic when I started drinking and tried cough syrup in 1996.

    Social Darwinism? What's that?
    I'm glad you appreciate your parents. But my question was: Why do you want to deprive your neighbor of the most effective method of ending their life?

    I'm guessing that's almost all suicides and not hate crimes.

    Many would argue murder is also a great sin. Yet that has done nothing to reduce the number of murders committed annually in the united states.
