Yet gun related deaths in the US are still MUCH higher than other countries[1].

22,938 (76%) are by suicide which can't be prevented by gun laws.

I beg to differ. Gun laws that reduce the number of firearms in homes, and/or reduce the number of guns sold to those with mental health issues, would almost certainly reduce suicide rates. A gun is a dangerously quick, easy, and effective method that sits in the closets of many Americans.
