[QUOTE="googirl77, post: 3260080, member: 148804"] [b]Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"[/b] Could that be down to the fact that even if guns are very common place, medication is even more common place? People just using what's available? Also it'd be interesting to see the ratio of death/attempts for the two methods? I'd hazard that they'd be very different (with maybe more "cry for help" suicides being via medication too). Seriously man...look into the latest stuff paracetamol in the UK because it's not as set as that. Making it harder to use that method has had a significant effect on suicides. That method of suicide is still available though. Go and buy loads of packets, pop them all out of their packs and take 'em. But...just making the person go through that extra process (rather than having all the tablets you need in one easily opened container) can break the cycle of anxiety and depression. And as a result less people kill themselves. Not temporarily or until they find another method but for the rest of their lives. I think that's probably down to squeemishness and not wanting pain perhaps? Tablets being seen as something that will make you pass out and die quietly. [/QUOTE]
