So education is your solution to gun suicides.

Kind of like oh, I don't know, sex education? This isn't rocket science.

(On edit: that would apply to ALL suicides. Non-gun suicides matter too.)

As for gun accidents, universal gun safety training, in 12th grade, would cut down that already miniscule number even less.

So, which do you hate more:

gun deaths

or

universal gun safety training which would reduce gun deaths

I think I already know the answer. Surprise me and prove me wrong.
