The triggering event for this law occurred not all that far from me. If you're suicidal and denied the "right" to purchase a gun, you should also be denied access through rental.
If you're suicidal you should be allowed to commit suicide with something like dignity. Your life, your sentience, your choice. Even Europe is grossly behind on this issue - you should be able to acquire Nembutal on your word for this purpose.
Not exactly how it happened. Shooting yourself at a shooting range where others are at risk is not anyone's right.
It wouldn't have happened that way if there were a clear, easy and logical method for obtaining assisted suicise.
Even Oregon, where it is legal, requires the intended suicide to be mentally stable. You can't just off yourself because you're depressed -- not legally anyway.
I understand what they require. But they're wrong. Mental suffering can be terminal and has a greater impact on long term quality of life than anything else. To deny the obvious recipients of a peaceful exit their dignity is wrong and injurious to the right of self-determination. And if you cannot die painlessly and tranquil, why not shove that in their faces?
