that number "may" be true, but it doesn't make you any more likely to die than any other country.

getting back to my initial question of why are "gun deaths" more tragic than deaths by any other instrument? suicide death rates, and homicide rates are statistically insignificant from other "first world countries", so why blame the gun?
