Suicide is the highest gun related death, see figure above. Using a gun you have a 96%+ chance of dying from the wound. If you try to stab/cut yourself you have a 5% chance of dying. Guns make killing yourself or others easier. Hence why the suggestion of removing/reducing guns = harder to kill others or yourself.

Absolute tosh. It really doesn't help your argument to make up stats, and not even remotely realistic ones at that!

Your statement highlights nothing about what I mentioned. Are you arguing that someone shooting themselves in the head has a higher chance of survival compared to cutting/stabbing yourself? Or the figure I mentioned previously about suicide gun deaths being higher than other gun deaths?? 

It really doesn't help your argument when you are incapable of being specific about what you are arguing about and are unable to provide counter stats, that you think I made up, just because it doesn't fit with your world view.
