Yes. A little under two-thirds of US firearms related deaths are suicides. Anti gunners include them in the figures to mislead and inflate the numbers.

Gang-bangers are indeed a large portion of murders.

Other details: of murders with firearms, most are in areas heavily controlled by Democrats, with very high rates in some areas that are 90+% Democrat.

Thanks.

And we know the Japanese manage a suicide rate much higher than ours with very few firearms in circulation. The point being, if the Left managed gun control/confiscation and thereby significantly reduced suicides by firearms, it might not have much of an effect on our suicide rate.
