About suicides:
Whether people argue for or against guns, the assumption is made that suicide is always bad. No one ever argues (like they do in the food debate) for freedom of choice and for taking personal responsibility. Also, no one says, "we are all going to die eventually of something, so why worry about it?" It's strange how arguments change from one subject to another.
The Newtown shooter took his own life; that was an "acceptable" suicide. And there may be many other suicides that fall into the category of acceptable or understandable for one reason or another.
