Statistics about gun deaths or shootings have to be looked at critically. Such statistics include all gun deaths, not just the 'unjustified' ones. Suicide, personal defense, and police shootings are all included in those statistics.
In my opinion, though, gun death statistics aren't the relevant statistics to look at anyway, it's violent crime statistics. Would the people who commit crimes with guns still commit them if they didn't have guns?
