Generally over half of them are suicides.

And, when you factor in our suicide rate to other nations, you find the US not even in the top 20.

The other gun deaths? Gang violence, and officer involved shootings, self-defense, and actual homicides.

So the real argument is do we take the easy route and pump money into sweeping gun laws and enforcement of said laws, or do we put that money into mental health to more easily reach out to those with thoughts of suicide, and slash the amount of gun deaths in the US by thousands?
Not sure I'd call taking everyone's guns "the easy route"
