This is one point I keep seeing over and over. I agree with you by the way. Suicides should be treated as a separate issue. It has nothing to do with gun ownership rates, and Japan demonstrates that. Guns are almost nonexistent in Japan, and yet the suicide rate is higher than in the USA. Considerably higher. (Although it is coming down; Source (interesting article by the way))
So, in my opinion, "gun deaths" is a meaningless statistic. Look at overall homicide rates instead.

I would also like to see the us figures with black on black homicides scrubbed out.

One cannot make public policy as if they don't exist.
