Notes from the Resistance
What Percentage of Gun Deaths are Suicides? [More]
There’s more to the story than numbers.
And interesting, how the antis have no problem with self-checkout as long as a gun isn’t used.
Some even push “for the children.”
And lets not forget the “Only Ones” paradox… or “gun-free” Japan…

Quick: Find out where the gun was originally sold and blame “bad apple dealers“!

In my analysis, guns resist simple categorization as either universally good or bad, dangerous or protective, fun or frightening. Instead, they are best under-stood through a “kaleidoscopic view,”considering the issue from multiple angles. To be sure, this requires maintaining a clear-eyed understanding of the lethal capabilities of firearms. [More]
Some of us have a clear-eyed understanding that sees through fabricated distortions.
That’s why we insist on “shall not be infringed.”
And reject kaleidoscopic views of gun owners as a panacea.

Governor Murphy’s Armed ‘Only One’—Trooper Slays Ex-Girlfriend & Her Boyfriend Before Killing Himself ~ VIDEO [More]
Lieutenant, huh? So he’d been getting away with being a headcase for some time. You’d better believe he fit in with the tone being set and his colleagues and subordinates were aware of what he was like. I wonder if an investigation will show management knew damn well from complaints and incidents that they had a ticking bomb, and if that means it will be compromised to bury their own culpability.
New Jersey… where Democrats finish off what the Hessians could not…
I love how the term “Only Ones” has been accepted and spread throughout the gun community.
An explosive lawsuit alleges that the children of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) tormented their mother’s personal assistant so severely that he ultimately took his own life. [More]
It appears the method has not been disclosed.
Ron is hoping it’s exploitable.

Anti-Gunners Include Suicides in Their ‘Gun Deaths’ Stats to Boost Bogus ‘Gun Violence’ Talking Points [More]
Funny, because if it’s suicide without a gun, they’re all for it.
The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand. [More]
There’s that typical collectivist understanding of rights again, so unsurprising, expected, actually, to see being promulgated by The Atlantic.
We could start with asking how much the government making life unbearable has to do with the numbers, and then segue over to why one of the trump cards our domestic prohibitionists pull to ban guns is “suicide,” which they’re evidently all for if it’s the “assisted” kind.
I’d also be curious to know if there are dominant political and theological ideologies common among those seeking early checkout.
All in all, there is hardly any evidence that handgun waiting period laws make a difference in homicides or suicides… As far as suicides are concerned, they have no effect on either gun suicide rates or total suicide rates. [More]
Another prohibitionist bit of calculated misdirection, that is…
Everybody here is totally aware of Gun Facts and relies on it as a go-to resource, right?
Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]
And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.
Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

Just don’t do it with a gun!
Or do, they can exploit it.

Tragedy rocks Texas sheriff’s office after four deputies die by suicide in six weeks: ‘It caught a lot of us by surprise’ [More]
Seeing as their rate is greater than the general public’s, why do the grabbers still insist they be the Only Ones with guns?

San Antonio police have identified a man accused of shooting seven police officers in Stone Oak during a response to a suicide in progress call…Poulos was out on bond for weekend arrest. Court records show Poulos was arrested on Saturday, Jan. 18, and charged four times. [More]
What a confusingly written story.
In any case, it sounds like they knew he couldn’t be trusted. That he got a gun anyway is all the validation that observation needs.
How the hell did he get seven of them if they knew?

What Percentage of Gun Deaths are Suicides? [More]
How do they compare with gun-controlled Canada’s government-approved suicides, and why doesn’t the DSM object to different methods?
“He ain’t dead; he’s alive,” one of the officers said. Instead of trying to help—or even calling it in—one of them instead said, “Let’s cruise around and come back.” [More]
Well, they did have no duty to protect…

Georgia judge Stephen Yekel shoots himself dead inside courtroom on last day in office [More]
They’ve already wiped his Facebook, so once more we’re dependent on what LE wants to share. I see he “received training from Georgia Police Academy and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.”
Without admittedly knowing any more about this than the story I link to, I’ll only say I don’t see how anyone could do that to their family, grown children or not, and have them live the rest of their lives with this nightmare.
Off-duty Detroit police officer who was ‘asking for suicide by cop’ shoots 2 fellow officers [More]
Sad, but I’m more concerned that they turn such as these loose among the general public, and find it hard to believe no one knew something was off.
DLE investigators were “dragging” the investigation out “hoping people get more scared, now this poor kid ran out of money. Can everyone see the picture I’m painting, threatened, afraid, no money, going to jail, can’t talk to no one, what’s there to live for, right?,” wrote Rodriguez, who blamed DLE’s top leaders and the head CID investigator for Kagehiro’s death. “Now he is gone.…” [More]
Do “just following orders” Only Ones really believe those giving such orders won’t eat their own when it suits their purposes?
That and ask a “Police should be the only ones armed” type who exploits suicide as justification for citizen disarmamament to address the elephant in the room:
More cops die of suicide than die of shootings and traffic accidents combined.
