This is a point that a lot of people don't think about. America's gun laws make it a lot easier to attempt suicide, while putting less thought in about the act.

I am British, and have contemplated it numerous times, but the effort involved in driving to a cliff, or creating a noose, or just the worry about doing it wrong, has stopped me.

If it were as simple as (getting drunk and) pulling a trigger, I would no longer be here.
