      Is it? I heard the opposite. A lot of people live through suicide maimed because the bullet ricocheted off their skull. Supposedly, there are better ways to off yourself that I won’t specify here

        You hear about them because it’s unusual. Someone shot in the pinky toe and surviving is not newsworthy.

          Yeah, my friend that shot himself in the head a couple years back would also like to know.

          I knew a guy when I was a kid. Pretty hard to look at. That’s a lot to me.

            And I know 2 that didn’t, I’m 0 for 2, you’re 1 for how many?

            It should be as hard to own a gun as it is to drive a car
