Suicide by firearm, does society class that as gun violence?

Just wondering, because frankly I would rather have the person blow their brains out then get in their vehicle and have a head on with someones loved one.
If someone is hell bent on ending it all a firearm is just the easiest tool to use, not to sound to cold I do believe they should get help and not end it all, but why does society pick on the tool instead of the user of the tool?
