Wow.. The law enforcement is Texas is shockingly bad, it's not wonder they scream so much about illegal immigrants, they're led by cowardly idiots.
"No rush boys, he's already killed everyone inside, let's wait until the Feds can come rescue us from the gunman." ~Texas law enforcement leadership.A new, revised timeline of the mass shooting showed officers were on the scene but hesitated to go into the room where Ramos was barricaded because on-scene commander Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo believed the killing had mostly stopped.
Most of the shots were fired in the first four minutes, McCraw said, and Arredondo mistakenly believed it had become a barricade or hostage situation. The only evidence anything had changed was that the shooting had slowed.
“The incident commander at the time believed it was a barricaded subject, they had time and there were no kids at risk,” he said.

Of course not having a gun doesn't make someone less suicidal... It takes away a means with nearly 100% efficiency to end their lives... Suicidal people without guns die at much lower rates. Either way it is death by a gun, even if self inflicted.
It's really subjective to be honest. There's no way to quantify it, but even taking suicides out you're looking at a little over 20k dead (number jumps pretty significantly when you add in suicides and maiming). The 65k defensive use of a gun number isn't always someone who is in mortal danger so it's not a 1 to 1 ratio there.I also don't see how this adds up to a "net loss of human life" which is why I asked for your math on the subject.
