so... over 600% more deaths by guns isnt a big deal? WTF is wrong with you. Life is priceless and guns make more problems than they resolve, thats for sure.
Milk is good.
Its not 40,000, and a strong majority of the lower number are suicides. The gun homicides per year are much much lower.(typically between 8-11k)
Other countries merely use different methods of suicide while many have somewhat similar rates.
The density of the population and the sheer number of guns also play a factor. As well as demographics/culture of some people.
Hard to shoot someone when trees, snow and meese are the only things around. Kappa
Guns are also used millions of times to protect people, thwart crime, etc.
