Suicides with rental guns

The anti-gunners will have you believe controlling handguns will cut down on suicides.
Just about every indoor shooting range here in So. Cal has had people come in, rent a gun, walk to the firing position and kill themselves. Some even test fire the piece to make sure it works. I have been to several of these calls at the one range in the city where I work.
Obviously our law makers dont realize that if someone wants to die, they WILL find a way.
Do you folks have the same sort of things going on in your communities ???????? -Just wondering-

    A buddy of mine from Escondito was relaying these tragedies to me. He said it was the cause of many indoor ranges shutting down. Sad.

    In Utah, it is not necessary to have to go to such lengths just to get hold of a gun......for whatever purpose. The Phenomenon you describe here is a direct result of not having access because of the Laws such as found in the Repugnant of Kalifornia!

    Sorry to say this, but a person who has decided to take their own life will go to great lengths to accomplish their purpose. They are EXACTLY like any other criminal at that point, they will get their gun some way and use it! After all, it is a crime to take your own life.......

    I wonder what the "ANTI'S" think about this???? Pretty damned bad when I guy has to "rent" his way out of this world, don't you think?

    If You Can't Buy a Pair, Get a Spare!

    And I thought the Lefties were all for assisted suicide.

    Wonder what happens to the deposit?

    Like in the NFL, defense is the key.
