That still doesn't make the gun violence problem in the USA any better.

It makes it exactly twice as better than the original statistic.

Except the fact that gun homicides are still above and beyond every other first world country by far.

But still at a level most people can live with.

Except the people who died, that is.

It makes the risk of being shot by someone else a lot less than it appears to be when you use raw gun death statistics.

Non-suicidal people don't believe they'd kill themselves. But they still do later in life. Any of us might become mentally ill and do it one-day, making that statistic pretty relevant.

That’s a personal problem though, not a problem for society at large.

How do you make that distinction? Serious question.
