Not beautiful. More “interesting data set.” Source: https://wonder.cdc.gov/ucd-icd10-expanded.html

    IIRC, death by suicide (firearm) was something like 10k / yr. So, I think it probably still outpaces death by GSW (spree shooting), tho I hear the later is increasing more than TV news can/will/is covering.

    EDIT: In 2023, “gun suicides reached a new high: 27,300” – https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/new-report-highlights-us-2023-gun-deaths-suicide-by-firearm-at-record-levels-for-third-straight-year

    If a death is by suicide, it is likely (>50%) by firearm. If a death is by firearm, it is likely (>58%) by suicide.
