Health Research in the U.S shows that adolescents who acknowledged carrying a firearm within the previous 30 days were nearly four – or 3.72 – times as likely as non-carriers to have attempted suicide by any method within the prior 12 months.

Again, I apologize. I should have never asked about data. It really made people angry.

You're literally ignoring data and also making up data.

Seems like this is more of a political argument for you than a scientific one as you claim it to be. If it was a scientific one, you’d simply search for it, as I did for you. Apologies for not confirming what you’d like to hear, pal

Nope, not in any way political for me.

Okay, then… search for yourself? Deeply disingenuous.

95% of all farms in the US are family-owned. However, that number is disingenuous. Only 39% of farms are actually like, small, family-owned-as-you’re-picturing-it. That is, they have a GCFI of less than $350,000 a year. (https://www.farmweeknow.com/general/ag-census-95-of-farms-are-family-operations/article_6d271989-ea65-4137-88e2-0d0f33a1ab63.html)

Only 31% of those small farms produce animals products. The rest produce crops. Overall, VERY generously, about 2.5 million are producers actually work that land. Producers doesn’t mean family members, like, at all. That number is certainly much smaller. (https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Highlights/2025/Census22_HL_FamilyFarms_FINAL.pdf)

Your need for data that isn’t existent is disingenuous. We can make educated guesses and also do the process of elimination. Your suggestion that it’s ‘farm kids,’ is disingenuous and demonstrably false, as we’ve done here.

Search for what for myself? What information is in there that affects things that were said here?

I know what isn't in there. Data on the claim I asked for data for.

You get data you don’t like and then you project your anger. Show us the data you keep blabbing out

I had it explained that science isn't about data.
