Upcoming legislative session..

According to the wording of the bill, it's about suicide prevention.

If one if feeling like a gun in the mouth is the only option, you can get online and tell the CBI you shouldn't be able to buy one.

Then if you try it anyway, you will be denied and the people on your contact list will be notified and you will be fined $25.

I don't foresee the suicide rate plummeting because of this bill, but if it saves one life, isn't it worth it???

If those supporting this legislation actually believe this will help the problem, they're fools. If this is actually their motivation, it's a "feel good" measure with zero focus on the unintended consequences.

What they're failing to consider it that those who are contemplating suicide aren't of the right mind to think to use such a program. Even if they did use it, if the person is truly suicidal, they would find another way to complete the job (intentional overdose, slicing wrists, driving their car off a bridge, jumping off a tall building, etc.). A firearm isn't their only option. If I was suicidal/homicidal (for the record, I'm neither!), I wouldn't let my ability to possess a firearm hinder my goal, and neither will anyone else who is of that mind.

At best this is typical liberal feel good "guns are the root of the problem" thinking. At worst, this is an 'anti-gun with expected forced compliance' measure.

The most common method of suicide in Germany is the train.....

It is bad when an ICE gets held up for an investigation and then people miss their flights....
