Suicides by guns are far more prevalent in the U.S. than elsewhere in the world

The United States has the highest number of firearm-related suicides in the world, a new study shows. From 1990 to 2021, 55% of suicides in the U.S. by men were with guns, compared to 10% across the globe. Among women, 31% of suicides in the U.S. involved guns, but only 3% globally did.
