One morning recently, I woke up to an email from a suicidal woman looking for help buying a gun. I'm sharing this publicly for two reasons: 1. Us gun people do actually care about people and don't want them to commit suicide by any means; and, 2. If this is some sort of weird thing to embarrass us, it's not gonna work. Here is the email I received: "Hello, I am going to commit suicide and id like to do it with a gun. Unfortunately I already tried many times but was revived and now I can't legally own a fire arm. I'm not really worried about that though because obviously they can't put a dead girl in prison. Your website is good because it seems like money is more important than human life, so who ever is running it will be on my side. You get to sell a gun. I get to finally be happy. It's a win win. I'll pay anything. Please help, I tried pills and ropes and I have 116 stitches on one wrist alone. This is my only hope. Please help." I should be needless to say, but I've contacted the authorities. Luckily, her email address came back to some Google results, including a phone number, which I was then able to Google to find some professional listings with addresses, so the police in each city were notified. I hope they are able to contact her and get her the help she needs. I was prepared to try and human engineer at least a city and state from her if this failed, but this info seems solid enough to turn it over to the police. Godspeed.
And yeah, prohibited person laws do seem to help. Comments are closed.
