I was in a discussion with one of my roommates this evening and he was quite against firearms, especially concealed firearm permits, unless they're used for sport.
He said that suicide is a good reason not to let people carry firearms. He said that although someone who wants to commit suicide can find another way, people have a strong will to survive and the availability of a gun because of concealed carry laws will make it so much easier than if someone had to use a knife on him/herself. He said that there are more people who die from suicide by guns than those who die from murder.
How would you respond to this?
