How is that any different from just not owning one voluntarily?

Because suicidal people aren’t always thinking clearly when the great abyss calls and this is something they could submit on a different day when they aren’t feeling necessarily like self-harm. I think this is a great idea. Can it be misused? Def. I could definitely see some virtue signaling and Facebook bragging by people who would never buy one anyway, but for people who would only buy one to off themselves it’s a great option.

Yeah as a person who has been suicidal and can't buy one of my own volition I'd feel a lot better if they had given me the choice to voluntarily not be able to buy one. I'd feel like I have a lot more agency.
