Senior men have higher rates of suicide than average, and firearms were involved in more than three-quarters of those deaths in 2021, according to a CDC report

        They’re the ones who keep saying “it’s not a gun problem it’s a mental health problem” and then doing fuck all to improve mental health, so yeah.

          In this instance they are actually correct

          If you understand suicide even a little bit you would know men do not fuck about when it comes to suicide. There is little in between, no cry’s for help they are rare. guns are a tool to achieve the outcome and the statistics will never change.

          So this click bait title and stupid anti-gun garbage does not help and makes the issue harder to resolve. Men will ALWAYS be the higher suicide rate no matter what. Social support systems and mental health stigma for men needs to change.

          Up next water is wet.

            But they still won’t vote for comprehensive mental health coverage, and most of the men in the Republican party are poster boys for toxic masculinity.

              So? You’re obsessing over a political farce unless you want to join the party?

                I have a problem with blatant hypocrisy. Every gun nut in this thread saying “it’s not guns it’s mental health” and “men have a mental health crisis” and then go vote for assholes who do nothing to help either of them, and then say it’s the Democrats who are the problem.
