Wow, what horrible news. Praying for his family.

And someone of Facebook jumped to the conclusion he used a gun and started calling for more gun control.

Of course they did. And the solution is always more restrictions, which never works.

Well, at least two media sites did report that It had been by firearm.
Statistically there is an ambiguous relation between firearm ownership and suicide. Many cross-cultural analyses show that suicide doesn’t correlate to lax (liberty-oriented) firearms laws. Some countries like Japan with high suicide rates have few guns. So all you are “controlling” is the means of suicide, not the suicide itself, which is illogical. Other criminologists have hypothesized that a personality trait of self-reliance lends itself both to firearm ownership and suicide, making any purported “causal” relationship spurious.
Either way, if you read your Bible, you’ll find out that this life is not yours to end when you choose. This life - no matter how good or awful the Lord allows it to be - is meant to turn you into the creation He intends you to be for eternity.
