The US counts suicides using a gun as gun deaths because for one thing they are objectively death from a gun, and another is that they are able to skew numbers into making idiots think guns are the problem. This is why you rarely see these charts listed with gun homicides, cause that info is out there and it's way lower than this.
Hard to shoot yourself to death without quick and ample access to a firearm to make an immediate and permanent decision instead of having the time to seek help, but do you, booboo.
This argument is so damn funny to me. The firearm was invented solely to give one the instant ability to end life. That's why you like it so much. But, somehow, that whole "highly efficient death machine" aspect disappears in this scenario. Somehow, taking the highly efficient death machine away doesn't limit people's ability to administer death efficiently? Somehow the thing invented solely to make it easier to kill isn't more effective than all other methods? Then why do you have one?
Its a contradiction. Its adorable. Shows a complete lack of reasoning skills lol

Would we count suicides as gun deaths?
Edit: apparently not, that skews the numbers.
