time.com — The Supreme Court's landmark ruling on gun ownership last week focused on citizens' ability to defend themselves from intruders in their homes. But research shows that surprisingly often, gun owners use the weapons on themselves. Suicides accounted for 55% of the nation's nearly 31,000 firearm deaths in 2005, the most recent year.

I wonder that too. Really what I wonder is how many are done in defense and how many are an attack.

And they are law abiding citizens who don't have the national drum beat of anti-western rhetoric pounding in their ears day after day like they do in the middle east.

Totally agree with you MadOgre.It might be a human right in the US but here in the UK you're not even allowed to cary around a toy gun. lame.they are actually punishing anyone found with a replica but they should be getting the real guns of the street.The UK sucks!

I'd rather sell a gun to a suicidal man than a car.

I'm horrible at giving some details, I explain things like everyone should know what I'm talking about sorry." gun owners use the weapons on themselves. "Suicides accounted for 55%" of the nation's nearly 31,000 firearm deaths in 2005, the most recent year"
