I hate that Guns Seem To Be The Easiest Way To Kill Yourself

[socrates]

This may not be true in all of the world. But in the US guns seem to be the only reliable method you can get access to legally. The second amendment gives us access to suicide. I hate this method because it's messy and barbaric in my opinion. It is certainly not a good end.

Other methods like hanging seem extremely unreliable. Sodium Nitite is hard to get and Antiemetics aren't much easier to get. Inert exit bags seem like a dream come true, but I had a hard time finding a regulator. And finally carbon monoxide is dangerous to others and Co detectors that can measure high enough are super expensive. Not to mention unless you want to do this method has a highly risk of being found.

And I'm sure there are people trying to make those methods harder, but in America we have groups like the NRA who fight for guns, and are winning. Guns can be used with out planning. If I ever get pulled over or get arrested (my biggest fears) if I act fast enough I can end my life then, and hopefully traumatize the cop for life. Suicide for a broken taillight heh

I've never really considered this implication before haha. I've never really been a pro-2A or pro-gun person, but now that I'm seeking suicide I find myself wanting easier access to firearms in Canada so that I can kill myself this way.

I agree it's messy but I think compared to other methods it's actually peaceful. You will die pretty much instantaneously, with essentially no pain or endured suffering. Once you pull the trigger your life is essentially over if you hit the right spot.

 

[zekeyaeger]

I personally wouldn't go for a gun based suicide. It maybe instant, yes, but in some cases people actually survive and the consequences I have seen are horrific.

 

[ParalyzedVeteran]

It's the honorable way for a soldier to check out. If I could walk they would never find my mess. On the the other hand, if I could walk and fuck etc. like before my spinal cord injury, I wouldn't be getting it together to pull the big D-ring.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wish I was born as an american so that I could actually have a way to kill myself. If I had access to a gun, I would have shot my brainstem and ended my life for good. Though of course it'd be better if I wasn't born at all

imo if one uses a high powered rifle or shotgun and hit the HEAD / brain the whole head will explode or break apart .

Felt. Don't wanna leave a mess at all.

I really, really want to find a way to make and use an exit bag. But I know literally nothing and can't find any information about it. I would also settle for firearm option at this point because I'm desperate. But I'm not able to legally get a gun license because I've been committed to psychiatric ward before. I'd never pass the background check because of that here in this state especially. No idea how to get one illegally. Preferred method I'm looking into is the exit bag for sure, I just need some help getting info on how it works/where to find the materials for it.

 

[affirmatice]

As far as an instant, painless way to go. Guns seem like the best method, if done right.

I don't have a gun but I don't know if I can live with the imagination of what happens. Not to mention the physical action of pulling a trigger.

 

[vanillamilkshakes]

Wish I was born in the USA, my step father works on a farm and has access to a firearm, but since I haven't spoken to him in years I see no way of getting access to the gun, and plus could leave him in trouble etc. I won't be attempting it

Me either and this is an option for me

 

[penguinl0v3s]

This has got to be a US exclusive thing. The US is a scary place.

You are lucky to not know the exclusive scariness of the US lol

There's always opioids and benzos or alcohol, DXM, Helium... There are a lot of easy legal and non ways to do so. Almost all are overdose though.

It's all just in the mind . Mindset shift. Reprogram brain . The mind is every thing what you think about most of the time you become. The catch is has to be only one thing.

 

[pathlessplaces]

Even a 9 mm with the proper ammo will do the job. Get a controlled fragment hollow point bullet and voila. Lights out. The military and police carry them because they're effective, not because they're pretty. Just gotta not shoot your face or your jaw, and preferably cut through both hemispheres. Brain stem not entirely necessary to destroy. Just enough of the brain. And of course not get found until it's too late to do much.
That's how I'm gonna go out very soon.

Benzo overdose not reliable otherwise a lot of us would be dead by now

Oh I was referring to opioids and benzos together, not by themselves. Mb.

I can't agree more about how scary America is especially right now! As an American I rather to see blood than dead bodies hanging.

I know if I had means to other reliable methods to CTB with (oftenly more peacefully) and could easily acquire them, I would have considered them. However, given the my personal circumstances (including my living arrangement) it would be hard to do so and things like SN and such are out of the question (since early 2023 when all the SN fiasco happened). Yes, while a firearm results in a mess, the best I could do is to mitigate that and I blame the prohibitive and anti-choice society that we live in which stigmatizes CTB, discussion of CTB, and lack of legal right to die (we don't even have MAiD or any assisted dying regulation apart from DWD (death with dignity) which is only available in several states and are more narrow than even Canada's MAiD program). Dignitas and other similar organizations will NOT accept me because I'm still young and not severely physically disabled or have a grave/terminal illness, thus would not qualify, therefore the DIY CTB would be my only route.

If I had the means for better, reliable, and peaceful methods I would have done so, but alas I don't so I am going to go with what realistically works for me after factoring in all my circumstances.

 

[nothingspecial]

I'm an American and live in the conservative south but I imagine it would still be hard for me to get a firearm. I think it would look pretty suspicoous if a 19 year old girl just walked in asking for a gun she knows nothing about. I've thought about making up some lie that it's to protect myself against an abusive ex-boyfriend or something, not sure if that would work.

 

[Amarajoy]

Guns make me very nervous. I'm afraid you have to have perfect aim and I won't do ill just disfigure myself. I don't quite understand the gun thing. But if I could figure it out I don't mind being disfigured. Death itself is inherently disfiguring. At least if the natural process is allowed to occur.

Yeah. I know a shotgun is 1.) certain and 2.) painless but the mutilation really puts me off. It's so ugly. And I'd have to leave the house--I'm not leaving my family with that cleanup. I just want something to put me to sleep while I'm relaxing at home.

I _think_ an exit bag could do this. But I fear I'd be instantly clocked as a suicide trying to buy the nitrogen tank.
