I don't know where your obsession with getting off track and shutting up is coming from, F.U.
People go with the flow here. That's not the same thing as throwing out "what about abortion?!" for the umpteenth time when children and firearms are being discussed. Even that's fine, it's just not deflection that I personally choose to entertain.
Anyway, I don't doubt the extreme mourning and grief in losing someone to a violent death -- whether it be self-inflicted or perpetrated by another. However, there are some very different effects and issues for surviving family members between the two types of killings.
And, certainly, choosing to take one's own life is a very different matter than unwillingly having one's life taken by another person.
