Oh I don't know, it seems a gray Ford pickup makes a dandy
suicide weapon:

Now personally I think it would have been better if Walter Bodin
had blown his brains out with a shotgun.  That way, only Bodin
would have been harmed.  Like I said earlier, people who are
serious about killing themselves, use serious methods to commit
suicide.  The late Mr. Bodin was serious and sure did not need
any firearm to dispatch himself.   Yet let us continue to blame
suicides on firearms.
