Gun deaths shaped by race in America Empty Gun deaths shaped by race in America

"A white person is five times as likely to commit suicide with a gun than
to be shot with a gun; for each African American who uses a gun to
commit suicide, five are killed by other people with guns"

"Where a person lives matters, too. Gun deaths in urban areas are much
more likely to be homicides, while suicide is far and away the dominant
form of gun death in rural areas. States with the most guns per capita,
such as Montana and Wyoming, have the highest suicide rates; states with
low gun ownership rates, such as Massachusetts and New York, have far
fewer suicides per capita"
