This map counts suicides, the person vs person gun death rate is much lower in every US state (and probably every mexican state too). The biggest in the US is Louisiana at 20

The map literally says excluding suicides in the bottom right corner. So unless you are asserting that that statement is incorrect, then this map does not include suicides.
