Six out of ten are suicide, the remaining four are murders. Gun regulations -don't- bring deaths down, that's the elephant in the room. The point of gun regulations is to bring down gun related deaths, not overall deaths the same way banning carcinogens in food is to bring down cancer through food -not overall cancer causations. ...right?

I have noticed that when there is an accidental shooting in someone's home, there is nearly always a gun involved. It may be too early to draw any conclusions, but I think it merits further research.

The shooting usually takes place in the living room, next to the table where the gun is left loaded for little Jimmy to pick up.
In 99/100 of these cases, there was a gun. But I have to consider this may not be causation, but due to a third factor.
