What was exactly disproven about suicides, were they not caused by guns???
Which wars had all the soldiers killing themselves in battle?
You haven't proven that it's a valid comparison.
Did you ever wonder why everyone objects to suicides being in this comparison, but no one objects to homicides? That's why. You want to compare people shooting people? Fine. You want to compare people shooting themselves? Also fine. But comparing people shooting eachother in one category to people shooting eachother AND themselves in the other category isn't balanced at all.

Would not a person who is mentally unstable and commits suicide by one means, use another means if the original means were not available to them? Ever heard of intentional overdose? Your argument doesn't fly.

Unintentional overdose isn't suicide. No matter how you slice or dice it, suicide by firearm is the method most likely used.

Another example of someone reading what they WANT to read instead of what someone else actually wrote.
You are in denial. Suicide isn't a leading cause of death in the African American demographic.
This is what you are replying too:

Taking a quick guess it looks to be about 8:1 ratio which indicates a slightly higher suicide rate in the white male population compared to the black male population.
Either the Wikipedia data is wrong or you are wrong. Take your pick.
