You can argue that gun suicides and gun homicides are different in nature and should not be lumped together in research or more detailed statistics, but to suggest it is not a form of violence because it is self directed unequivocally wrong.
This has been asked already, but is using pills to suicide by overdose violence? Using a rope to hang yourself? Running your car's engine in a confined space? If the answer to any of these questions is no then your conclusion is not a sustainable one.
