Neighmond, I am sorry about your brother. Thank you for sharing that with us. With all due respect, though, a lack of gun may make a huge difference in such impulse suicides as I wrote of. I truly believe if that child had not had access to his father's gun that afternoon he would not be dead. It was very much an emotional, spur-of-the-moment desperate act, as many crimes of violence are, esp. when carried out by children.

Thanks, again,

kat
