About my post on gun deaths in Pittsburgh. It was the first site I found on a quick search. I thought it would be nice to have some names to go with the numbers. As for you that discount the suicides by gun, obviously you don't know anyone that blew their own brains out. I've known 5 people that have committed suicide with a gun. Of those five, one was termianally ill with cancer, and thought he was saving his family from the pain and cost of it, Two of them were derpressed and drunk, luckily for them they had a gun available to take care of that problem( I was fortunate enough to be there to try to help one the guys wife try to explain why daddy went away to her 4 year old boy). The last two, know one know for sure why they killed themselves, their lives seemed to be going well. But they all had one thing in common, they all owned the gun the killed themselves with.
