Its not just about suicide. People kill family members, have a kid who becomes depressed, etc. Its not just the gun owner who is at increased risk. You're much more likely to do something dumb like shoot an "intruder" who is actually your spouse getting a midnight snack than somebody who is out to get you.
There is something to be said for communal mutual defense, but its simply not worthwhile for most people to keep a gun and ammo at home for self defense on pure safety grounds.
That's what I just said.
