Comrade Philips..."Young people who live in rural areas kill themselves at twice the rate as youth who live in cities, according to a new study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.".....

Does that apply to Hussein's home city of Chicago??

Ken,

I was curios so I tool a look at your article.

It seems to be more of a hot on gun ownership than suicide prevention. It cites no real statistics but goes in to length about gun ownership. Many suicides are accomplished via means other than a firearm like that poor young man who asphyxiated himself with car exhaust that received national attention.

Remote locations also mean smaller social networks and fewer people to rely on providing help. High unemployment and flailing economies have also depressed small towns.

The article did say the above which is highly plausible. How many of those young people lived in towns that previously had thriving coal mines that zero shut down? Folks with underwater mortgages living in a town with no primary business destined to be ghost towns. Thank you Obama.
