“The vast majority—90 percent—of people who attempt suicide and survive do not go on to die by suicide. Suicide attempts with a gun, however, rarely afford a second chance.

Limiting access to firearms increases the amount of time between a crisis and an individual’s suicide attempt, giving the impulse an opportunity to pass.” – The Truth About Suicide and Guns [via bradycampaign.org]
