Fully paid up Fox News subscriber, eh?
Any statement that starts with 'in reality' contains at least an unsubstantiated off-topic opinion, and probably an outright untruth. I'm betting this is one: there's not enough black single mothers to offset the white population of gunmen, despite the higher percentage of poor blacks involved in crime. You might be right on a per capita basis, though, so HUZZAH for half-truths.
Also: if you don't own a gun, suicide by gun is more... Difficult. Even if guns are made illegal by liberals by nefarious means for illegitimate reasons, it'll reduce the suicides by a considerable margin. So, if you actually care about your last sentence (and make no mistake, I don't think you do), be glad: left wing politicians are saving people by mistake.
Why would making guns illegal reduce the suicide margin? Do you believe that one that is set on killing themselves is going to be deterred because a gun is more difficult to come by? They'll just choose a different method for ending their lives. For instance, the Luminous Veil hasn't reduced Toronto's suicide rate; it's just made certain individuals use other bridges or different means to kill themselves. Hand guns are illegal here, why isn't that preventing them from ending up in the hands of thugs? If if every single gun was seized by the U.S. government, what's to stop criminals from using other weapons like knives, metal rods, explosives, etc. to cause harm?
Stripping people of the right to bear arms isn't going to end violence because that's not addressing the issues that lead to one becoming a threat to others; i.e. mental illness; the breakdown of the family unit; lack of direction/motivation; abandonment; drugs; certain types of music/movies/hedonist culture; no moral guidance from the diminishing importance given to God (Yeah I know; eyes rolling). Like it or not, the fact is that anything is permissible/relative when one doesn't believe they will be held accountable for their actions once their time on this planet is over.
Not believing in God vastly changes the way people behave (not to lump all atheists together), however, how many serial killers/murders, rapists, criminals in general/those imprisoned are devout (not cultural) Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, etc.? The weird thing about liberalism is the belief that its supporters can live off the fruits of a culture (our Judeo-Christian founders/leaders and their descendants) whose views are contrary to their own; dismantle the very aspect that made us exceptional and free (our belief in an all loving God), and think that somehow we'll be better off. Evidently, the dwindling respect for God isn't working out very well, given the rampant decline in human decency and the rise in family dysfunction, selfishness and disrespectful/violent behaviour. Our culture has been decaying for several decades because of a "do what thou wilt" mentality that is centered around individual gain and pleasure. It's no coincidence that this cultural shift lines up with the liberal wave that took over our universities/schools, media, culture around the time of the civil rights movement in the late 60s.
If people really want to tackle the issue of gun violence, then it is imperative to discuss all the social factors that have led to a culture of such disturbed people. Guns aren't the problem. Removing them from the equation solves nothing. If the left truly wants to make a dent on this issue, then they need to address the issues they're reluctant to touch. But that would require condemning things like divorce/deadbeat dads. The best hope we can offer our youth is bringing them up in tight-knit households, with a loving and supportive mother and father. That has and always will be the most successful way for a child to be raised. If we got back to that, I guarantee that the world would be a much better place. I don't think anyone would dispute that. That would be the death of liberalism, however.
