That's why it's a nonsense statistic. What other stat groups suicides, murders and accidents together.
No guns would prevent all of the accidents, none of the suicides and some of the murders. It's only the last number that needs to be debated. So it needs to be three statistics to have any value whatsoever.
That statistic drives me crazy when people use it, because it's such obvious propaganda, that people regularly use.
Try reading some of what I wrote, instead of spewing hate towards statistics.
I'd advise to go into some of those links as well, but I understand that it can become too much.
