Do More Guns Really Mean More Safety?

6. Suicide is a crime is it not?

I think dismissing data that includes suicide is an equivocation. It treats all manner of suicide as equal and sadly as inevitable. That is not the case, by a wide margin suicide by firearm is much more likely to be successful and on ther other side people that fail at one attempt usually don't try again.
I say sadly because you have to harden your hearts to lesser than firearm death by stranger or accident.

Once again with the USVI you pick an outlier rather than looking at the whole picture. Japan has extremely strict firearm laws etc.We could go from country to country looking for exceptions. When the question remains why do those states with laxer gun control laws have more firearm violence?

Heck here's a possibility, those states tend to be red states.
