I don't know if anyone has heard about this, but here is a video regarding the retirement plan. It is basically the firearms method, but saved for late age or really, really bad times (cancer, chronic pain, severe physical disabilities, and other horrible fates). Of course, the guy in the video, Aaron Clarey is approaching it more from an economical and assisted suicide angle than a plain suicide angle. He even emphasized that this is something for people who are aging, facing serious health problems and suffering greatly rather than a young person who is suffering and I guess that makes sense. However, I personally would not just limit it to the elderly and infirm, but also to people who have other issues (financial debt, in a really shitty situation with little hope of recovery, or fucked up beyond repair, etc.) and want out of life and find peace.
My difference would be instead of the Smith & Wesson Retirement Plan, it would be called the Mossberg Maverick Retirement Plan (or just 'Maverick Retirement Plan') for me. With a shotgun around $200 and some 00 buckshot for about $5, I will be able to retire without dealing with all the late life problems. I don't plan on living to elderly age, or hell, even late 50's worry me as I seen people around that age with health problems (even if not severe or terminal) and quality of life already has declined a bit from them (if they are an athlete, they won't be able to do the things they are able to do when they were in their 20's or even 30's, cognitive function starts to decline and other physical decline, etc.). Also, I agree with him that even if one has the money after retiring (assuming like 65 or w/e age one retires), there is no point in suffering through the last decade or so of one's life just so they can live as long as possible. Therefore, I don't plan on having that retirement and the moment that my quality of life or finances won't be able help me get by with basic needs, or if I need to depend on someone to help feed me, clothe, bathe, or other daily tasks, then I'm checking out. Sure, granted there are people out there who just want to live as long as possible or enjoy life, I respect them for it, but quality over quantity is for me, not quantity over quality.
