It was specifically requested by people in an earlier thread that had a similar chart that included suicides. Moreover, legislative solutions to suicides vs homicides might look very different, so you need to separate the data out to analyze that. If suicides are the driving factor and not homicides, for example, high capacity magazine and assault weapon bans won’t do any good.
