Why shouldn't suicides be counted? Research has shown that the removal of gun access from people with suicidal ideation has a decrease in number of attempted suicides and attempted suicides. 50% of suicides are impulsive decisions removing that opportunity for impulse saves lives.

Florida has a higher percentage of the groups (over 45) that commit suicide (until very recently the two highest levels were in those groups (last couple of years 25-34 has spiked). So suicides do skew their statistics. But, yes I think suicides should be considered in discussions.

Intent, criminal acts, gun violence, mass shootings, etc..and then too insinuate Florida has shocking gun violence? Come on man…suicide is a separate discussion where gun access is relevant.

Like I said, it’s an easy mistake too make.

But seriously, how does Chicago have half the murderers of Florida? Chicago 2.60 million peeps vs Florida 22 million? That’s a serious problem where Dems leadership, justice system lead by Kim Fox has failed. Soft on crime policies failed, defund the police has failed.
