I guess I beg to disagree. I don't own a gun and I'm pretty sure that if I ever bought one, my therapist and/or pdoc would escort me to the nearest hospital pretty quickly. My suicidal thoughts are impulses, and not well reasoned. I can identify closely with someone who commits suicide impulsively, but not with someone who does so with alot of advance planning. I've always thought that shooting myself was the only fail safe method, so I view my lack of a gun as a barrier (or safety net) against suicide. Buying a gun would be removing a barrier and would make me feel so much more at risk.
