5-Slide Series
This edition continues our summer series on gun deaths, focusing on suicides. Suicide rates vary considerably by state, and these slides demonstrate that the variation across states is very highly correlated with household gun ownership rates. The firearm suicide rate in the cohort of states with the highest gun ownership was 2.7 times above the firearm suicide rate in the state group with the lowest rates of household gun ownership.
