Nearly two-thirds of gun deaths are suicides. The U.S. gun suicide rate is 10 times that of other high-income countries. OWNING A GUN MAKES YOU LESS SAFE. Increased ACCIDENTS... Increased FATALITIES During Arguments.

Access to a gun increases the risk of death by suicide by three times. Gun suicides are concentrated in states with high rates of gun ownership. Most people who attempt suicide do not die—unless they use a gun. Across all suicide attempts not involving a firearm, less than five percent will result in death. But for gun suicides, those statistics are flipped: approximately 85 percent of gun suicide attempts end in death. White men represent 74 percent of firearm suicide victims in America.
