No she isn't, rifles aren't suicide weapons and that's a typically male method.
If it was a handgun you'd have a point.
no one said suicide except you
OP probably mentioned suicide because that accounts for almost half of guns deaths. That's where your statistic comes from. Guns don't just hop out the safe and run around killing people.
And BTW, when you hear about someone shooting themself "cleaning their gun", no, that was likely a suicide attempt. I'm not all that bright and I can figure out how to clear any gun you hand me.
Guns should never be cleaned with live ammo inside them.
When I was a kid, a neighbor was shot in his garage. There were definitely two stories that went around the neighborhood. One said suicide and the other said "cleaning his gun." One of those was repeated when kids were around. The other when they thought no one was listening.
Years back, I read was a very odd story about the Korean belief that falling asleep in a closed room with a running fan would result in death. This also seems to be a cover story for suicide.
