You seem to be missing the bits I highlighted:

We find that the buyback led to a drop in the firearm suicide rates of almost 80%, WITH NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON NON-FIREARM DEATH RATES.

There was a more rapid decline in firearm deaths between 1997 and 2013 compared with before 1997 but also A DECLINE IN TOTAL NONFIREARM SUICIDE AND HOMICIDE DEATHS OF A GREATER MAGNITUDE.

Perhaps you should pay more attention.

I accept your claim about your wishes, but I think your arguments are pretty typical of whackjopb gun nuts. I assume this is an example of paid NRA lobbying and blatant lying infecting a whole society and blinding it to realities that are clearly visible from outside the filter bubble.
