There Ought to Be a Law Part One
Cathy Crowley's 18-year-old son bought a shotgun, and on May 24, 2004, the Maine youth killed himself. Cathy went to the store to find out how her son could buy a weapon so easily. They said that selling her son a gun was legal, and if she didn't like it, she should try to change the law. So, Cathy said she'd do just that. "There Ought to be a Law Part One" begins her story.

Someone who is committed to
Someone who is committed to committing suicide will find a way. Taking guns out the equation does nothing. Using someone's death to advance an agenda is wrong, especially when the agenda being advanced is misguided...
Sad Story
What a poor lady, It's horrible to lose a son, but to suicide even more.
a Parent will think, always, Could I prevented this?, and in this topic its always a maybe, in suicide, its a steep slope to depression, its amazing what parents would do even after a death of a son, to make sure it wouldn't happen to other people too, i doubt she will make a change herself, but its another "Vote" on Fixing the problem of ease of getting firearms in some states.
If drinking is limited to the age in 21, how is it possible that a person can buy a weapon at age 18? its simply shocking, does it take more responsibility to drink or to own a lethal weapon? both are a big responsibility, but i think firearm limitations should be raised at least to that age, and under stricter monitoring too, some states don't have this law yet, but there should be a wait period on all firearms of at least a week, for a person planning a suicide, murder, that time could be critical and might save lives.
