I am as pro 2nd as they come but I do agree with you.
Death due to complications from being obese is a personal choice and comparing it to being murdered with a firearm is apples and oranges.
That said, suicides need to be removed from the overall death by firearm count as they are self inflicted.
Justifiable homicide should be removed as well.

You could eat fast food everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner and it wouldn't make you put on weight if you weren't consuming more calories than you were expending.

As far as the "need" to own several, there are different guns for different purposes. A .22 rifle or handgun for target shooting and varmint control, a shotgun for target shooting, hunting or personal protection, a 9mm (or larger) handgun for target shooting or personal protection, a rifle for target shooting, hunting or personal protection, and so on. Need? Depends on how you look at it.

When you mention something bad about something a person likes to eat or drink, they go on the defense then offense quite often. People will take a pill to treat symptoms instead of changing what they like to eat. They will make up excuses to shuffle the illness to some other reason than what they desire.

Why should you even be telling people what to eat? Unless they ask. Responding to people who are trying to cancel one right because some people are stupid and violent by suggesting other areas of freedom should be curbed as well is a pretty irrational response. If you're pro-freedom, be pro-freedom across the board and don't let them manipulate you into fighting with people you should be defending.

Oh, I must have mentioned the bad properties of one of the foods you like which triggered an offensive reaction.
I do not tell people what to eat or not to eat, I just tell them possible properties of food chemistry that can negatively be effecting them.
I actually have helped quite a few people identify food chemistry intolerance over the last ten years or so. They were eating a lop sided diet that contained multiple foods that shared a chemistry they were intolerant to.
