"In 1993, of 39,595 firearm-related deaths, only 251 were determined to be justifiable homicide"
No mention that most of the rest were caused by criminals which used guns during the commission of a crime.

No, no, no, no, no. Have I said that enough? Almost 2/3 of annual firearm-related deaths in the US are suicides. Most of the remaining 1/3 are as you said.

No mention that most of the rest were caused by criminals which used guns during the commission of a crime. Actually most of the rest were caused by suicide. Which, if you don't have some religious objection to, can also be argued as "justifiable homicide".
