Now do a little math
19,000 x 32 years = 608,000

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm

CDC says in 2010 11,078 homicide by firearm, 16,259 total homicides
do a little math
11,000 x 32 years = 352,000

So about 2/3's of the firearm killings is self inflicted
Brett, you have finally seen the light. You are 100% right. If those people didn't have firearms, they would be alive right now.
