Guns in the Hands of the Elderly can Lead to Suicides

   The older the man who owns a gun, the more likely he is to commit suicide? Guns abound among the elderly, and as factors such as depression, disease, disability, loss of spouse, and feelings of abandonment by family increase, the gun sit faithfully at hand, ready to be used. 
   Men tend to own guns more than women, so it is the men who face this danger.
   A new CDC study shows that men 85 and older are more at risk of gun suicide than any other age group.
   The proliferation of guns in America has its consequences. Make it convenient to kill ourselves, and eventually there will be a high volume of those who do.
