    Then I wonder how many people have access to rope and why hanging doesn’t dominate the statistic.

        It’s more than enough. It’s possible to break a neck by dropping from standing position to the floor. The padded roams in psychiatric wards are designed without pipes under the sink for this reason. Suicidal patients would tie their t-shirt around their neck and sink pipe to off themselves by drop hanging.

      If you dont know how to hang yourself(it’s actually kinda hard), your death will be extremely painful and it will take a long time. Shooting yourself is one of the most effective, immediate and painless ways of killing yourself.

        A gun doesn’t magically kill. It simply makes a hole in the place that is shot. The person might die from having a hole in the body.

        It’s messy, it hurts and it takes a while to die from.

        There’s a reason why death sentences aren’t done using guns.

          Bullets dont create holes. Once inside, they spin and/or deform, causing a lot more damage than a bullet sized hole. Apparently, when your brain is fucked this much, it is over. Of course it doesnt always work perfectly but more often than not, it does. It is by far the most effective way of killing yourself.

          The reason death sentences arent done using guns because aiming and shooting at people is hard and has psychological repercussions for the shooters. Even when executions were done by bullet, you had a lot of shooters so that noone had to bare the killing responsibility.
