How about Stripes and the Israeli military?

They both say that the experts agree that removing guns will greatly decrease the number of suicides in America.

Which would means saving many 10s of thousands of lives.

So now that you know what the experts say I'll be patiently waiting for your excuses for why those experts don't matter.
