Surprise, surprise surprise.

What's your point?

Look at all those states in the North with more gun killings than car-related deaths, and the fact that those states include gun-control paradises California and Illinois.

The hidden assumption in your argument is that car death rate is constant across states.  Well, it's not really hidden, it's kind of obvious if you're not a total idiot.

Now here is a non-retard map of gun deaths:  http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/firearms-death-rate-per-100000/#map.

I don't know why we insist on lumping suicides and murders together. Personally, I'd prefer suicidal people use a gun rather than a car.

George Mason would've been very disappointed.

That's what I was thinking.

We insist because far from all suicides are inevitable.  It's not like someone is guaranteed to kill themselves, and is then looking for the most convenient method.  People with guns around actually go through with suicide attempts more frequently, and those suicides attempts are much more successful.  Considering that most people don't try to kill themselves again after first failed suicide attempt, that adds up to a lot of needless deaths due to people keeping guns near them.

I look forward to the delicious irony of many new "Trayvon's laws" resulting in increased incarceration of young black males for self-defense shootings.

Are there a lot of young black male shooters who avoid incarceration due to claims of self-defence presently?

Plenty of them dead under claims of Possession with Intent to Distribute Skittles already.

This is awesome!

You're acting like deaths by suicide are undesirable.

Scippy just doesn't want you to believe that guns acquired in states with notoriously lax gun laws can't be transported across state lines, because as we all know, gun homicides are committed by legal gun buyers in California, Illinois and Maryland. 
Funny how those states are all immediately bordered by gun nutter states with atrocious straw purchase rates: Arizona, Indiana and Virginia.

Oddly enough, I think statistics will demonstrate that more YBMs die north of Mason-Dixon, where the North has set the niggers free, to quote Randy Newman.

And that's why the real issue is, in the end, guns.  But we can't talk about that.

:sadface:

I don't think we even need to go there, although this is also a good argument.  Unless we have border control between state lines, state laws on gun ownership will have only limited effect.  However, despite Scippy's best efforts to present retarded arguments showing the contrary, states with tight gun controls still had lower gun death rates.

In the meantime, I'll just have to be satisfied with accidental household shooting deaths instead.

So where are the riots I heard were going to happen?  Are Korean shop owners fighting for their lives as we speak?
