Guise my first college level class in psychological was the mid 1970s, at that time my professor said that Washington State had the highest amount of suicides in the nation. He says the scientific consensus was the constant change of barometric pressure and the incredible amount of rain. Side note, dentists have the highest suicide rates of any medical profession. While these facts below point put the culprit as being guns, it’s not so, it’s the weather and also anarchists and communist revolutionaries have taken over the state for many years. According to these stats guns are the problem, imo it’s lily livered Democrat, progressive policy and the complete destruction of any moral authority in their lives. It’s gonna get a lot worse for the city and the state
Note: take everything with a grain of salt, all info is from WA state university, CDC and NIH
