So my original posts already addressed your concerns That you brought up.
You have not addressed suicides and you have not addressed whatever portion of guns which are sourced domestic which are used in crimes so I will restate my conclusion.
The statement that a handgun ban will have no affect is highly likely to be false.

Suicides will happen regardless if guns are legal, that will always exist. You fight suicides through prevention with mental health resources.
If we suspect someone is suicidal and they have guns, there's a hotline to call.
