Let's look at some facts
From the CDC: National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
1999 American Mortality Statistics:
Suicides:
Firearm Related - 16,599
Homocides:

Conclusion:
Let's ban cars and trucks.

Ok, then lets start with some additional restrictions on them and work our way up to a total ban over a twenty year period.
Sounds good.
