    For a meaningful perspective on this, see https://www.chicagotribune.com/news...n-deaths-suicide-cdc-1216-20181214-story.html

    Perhaps the most salient part of the article:

    "The number of homicides actually declined last year — and is believed to have fallen again this year. Our streets have gotten safer.

    So what gives? When gun control advocates cite “gun deaths,” they are not talking just about slayings of people by other people. Some 60 percent of these deaths, it turns out, are not homicides but suicides. Most of the people who inflict fatal gunshot wounds harm only themselves."
