Over half of all gun deaths in the United States are attributed to suicides. Sadly, this issue is rarely discussed in gun death conversations. We compiled a comprehensive report covering suicide-related gun deaths in the U.S.
If you’re in a hurry, here are the highlights from that report:
- 57% of all gun deaths between 2018 and 2024 were suicides.
- White Americans were the most likely to die in a suicide-related gun death (83%), compared to 38% of Hispanic gun deaths and 17% of black gun deaths.
- On average, 77% of gun deaths in all age groups were suicides. But the amount increases with age.
