Keep in mind that the largest cause of gun deaths are suicides. You need to factor that into your claim.

If you kill yourself, you're still dead.

You're completely missing the point. The point is that suicide is inflating the statistic of owning a gun increasing your chances of being shot. If you don't have issues with depression, that increase in risk is significantly less.
