That leaves 2-3k murders with a gun every year. Take out gang-related murders and we're in line with most European countries. As long as you aren't a gang member doing gang things... you're good.

So suicides shouldn't be prevented and gang deaths dont count?

Since the argument is that guns make it more dangerous, I think it's important to note that if you aren't a gang member and don't intend on killing yourself, then it isn't more dangerous.

Suicide rates between America and Australia are really close, for example. Just because Americans do it with a gun, it doesn't mean guns should be outlawed. They're still going to do it.
