The most interesting thing is the implied concept that a "firearm death"
is somehow more awful than any other form of homicide or suicide.
What the numbers seem to show is that in places where firearms are
easily available, they are the tool of choice, but where they aren't easily
available, other methods are used. No big surprise there.
