The only question is which of them will be your choice to off yourself
when you're ready to go? 17,000 suicides by gun each year in the US
and it's been proven that guns in the house increase the odds of a
suicide.
The odds of a suicide or simply the odds that they use the gun for the
suicide?
Lets go look at one of those examples of a gun free country, Japan.
They have a higher suicide rate than the US.

What's the mass murder rate in Japan?

JPS was talking about suicide, the bulk of gun deaths here.
Mass killing makes the news but it doesn't even bump the needle on the
murder rate unless you count gang shootings where they kill several
people at once.

Gotta love how hard you fellas work to minimize the mass murder rate here.

BTW, the suicide rate for males in Japan is 26.9 per 100,000, compared
to 19.4 per 100,000 here.

Suicide is a holdover of Japanese society during its feudal times and in
World War II. I suppose mass murder is a holdover of American society.
