people who kill themselves are hardly "innocent victims of gun crime."

Logically, there is a huge difference between self-inflicted and other harms. And legally, it is against the law to kill yourself. Obviously, being a real victim of gun murder violates no law.

Sounds about right. Many suicide "attempts" are really cries for help. GreenStormCloud Jul 2012 #26
