    People who want to kill themselves and don’t have access to a gun sometimes just give up and decide to live instead. Suicidal thoughts are not always persistent, they are fleeting. Having easy access to a gun is just another way to turn a temporary feeling into a permanent choice. It doesn’t make you more likely to commit suicide, but it does make it more likely that a suicidal ideation turns into a suicidal action.
