And you are so brainwashed as to believe that single anecdotal example is typical.

Since about 45 of those are killing themselves, 33 of them are crime victims beyond my control, and the remainder are pure accidents NOT involving my guns, I really don't care.
The ONLY ones which MIGHT not die were guns made illegal for the general population are the accidents, and frankly Goober, 2 people per day out of 300 million is not worth even noticing, let alone sacrificing my rights on the off chance they aren't so stupid that they meet their deaths through other means.
You haven't refuted my arguments, you've simply chosen to ignore them in favor of your emotional biases. You're free to do this of course - and I support your right to be stupid.
