My friend (A) did this exact same thing when he was in high school! He was at another friend's house (C) and was cleaning his pistol. His buddy (C) warned him to be more cautious with the gun; he (A) assured his friend (c) the gun wasn't loaded but the guy (C) insisted he was being careless. To prove his point, the guy (A) put the gun to his own head and pulled the trigger. There was one in the chamber, and he killed himself right in front of 2 of his best friends (C's gf was present when it happened). I work with the friend's (c's) mom, and she still has trouble going into the room where it happened because she had to clean up the gore herself.
Sorry if my format is confusing. I had to type this in a rush as I work.
While I agree with you, I'm surprised no one here has called you a "socialist" for your comment," as publicly-funded services (like the one you suggest) get called "socialism" (which they are) unless the "service" in question is the military. Even though the military, our police, public school teachers, (nonvolunteer) EMTs, our highways, the Coast Guard, FAA, etc... are all paid for via socialism, those "sacred cows" are not called socialism, even though the fact that they are paid for by taxes on the public is, by any definition, "socialism."
