Great way to do so, who doesn't know that news agencies don't generally report suicides.

The media covering it up helps the gun community

I'm not totally for sure but I remember ahwile back when someone I knew off themself that the media does not report on suicides because of some reason I can't remember all I know is that the can't. So not really a cover up more like a policy.

I would suspect if there is an unofficial policy it would be because suicides that generate a lot of press and perceived notoriety (to the one considering such an act) can potentially trigger a copycat who is contemplating suicide. Don't know but that would be my guess if there is such a policy.

They should do the same thing if there ever is a mass shooting. Don't put a face to the name. Or even mentioned the name.  Someone could copy them and have their moment of fame.

Bass monkey totally agree..

Zippz true dat it's always sad dat someone decides to go out dat way..

I disagree, if you do it correctly you don't feel a thing and are dead before your brain can even register the sound of the shot!  sure its a bit messy but it is a very effective way to get it done.  What sucks is that he did not do it in his own home or some place more secluded.

Normally when Tapatalk cuts off the first letter of a post I'm angry. This time I wasn't 

Has anyone verified the validity of this story?

^^^Not that I know of.  I thought this was actually in the paper on 4/9 or 4/10 too, so best guess is the SA probably screwed up on the date and posted something old.

The one flaw in this is why would an anti-gun advocate own a firearm.

Ask Dianne Feinstein

Does she?  I have no idea, but seems it seems disingenuous to own a firearm and tell others they can't do the same. 

suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I think its stupid... my two cents.

some times it is a permanent solution to a on going and never ending problem.  You my friend have never had someone you loved have a terminal illness which was so painful that no human medical help other then to put them into medically induced coma (most of which times medical professionals will not do) will relieve.  Instead, most times you are forced to watch them suffer, some times for months and even years in agony as they slowly turn into a shell of their former selves while losing all human dignity along the way.  After they finally they die; when in the final days they are still racked with pain beyond what words can explain to your simple little mind, when you see them struggling to breath their very last breath and when they finally pass; you can then tell me that "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem!"

Terminating life to end long term pain & suffering is called euthanasia...a merciful act to allow an honorable/dignified death and is NOT the same as suicide. While the end result is the same, we should never confuse the two.

It really doesn't matter what you think, nor does it matter whether you or I say if it's right or wrong...it's really not our place.  Each persons life is their own, to live (or not) as they choose. The what's or why's, temporary or otherwise, is nobodys business but their own.

===========================================================


What I don't get is how damn ignorant and insensitive comments have become around here...Not everything has to be politicized, twisted into a joke, or turn into a dick measuring contest. How hard is it to understand that this is a public forum and that the deceased individuals friends/family might happen by? 

What happened is tragic and sad. We should just leave it at that.

A:  you can't euthanasia people in the USA.
B:  euthanasia and sucide go hand in hand (only time it isn't is when the person being euthanized is not concious to make that decision).
