yep, in the right context, gun suicides should be part of the gun control/gun safety discussion. Simply put, we want to see fewer gun deaths and, if we can keep guns out of the hands of people with a backgound of mentally instability - which, I would assume would apply to a good percentage of the people who commit suicide with guns - then, more lives will be saved, for the reasons you stated... so, yeah. make it part of the conversation...
