TW sucide
Exactly what I meant by second thoughts, though “window of regret” is far more poetic. With other methods there is the prep- getting to the correct place, obtaining the means, or setup. But with guns it’s as fast as picking it up and loading it. Then it’s done, no time to decide to call for help and no time for intervention. It’s why guns in a home with a person who is having suicidal ideation is so dangerous. Too easy to act in that time period where everything is despair but the person still has enough energy to do something.
