And most people who die after jumping out of airplanes have (defective)
parachutes. Therefore it is safer to jump out of airplanes without parachutes.
The CDC sucked suicides into the mix to cook the books and suicide by
firearms is a *legitimate* use of same. Surely you believe in the "right to
die," don't you?

statist?
