Homicides of Black males and suicides among white males push up firearm fatalities​

A record 48,953 deaths in the U.S., or about 15 fatalities per 100,000 people, were caused by guns last year, said the analysis published Tuesday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Gun deaths declined in the 1990s, but have been rising steadily over the past decade and skyrocketed during the Covid-19 pandemic, said researchers who conducted the analysis.

Gun-related deaths of women and children have risen, the analysis said, but men remain far more likely to die from guns.

“The disparities are so marked,” said Chris Rees, a co-author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at Emory University School of Medicine.

Dr. Rees and his colleagues analyzed U.S. firearm fatality rates from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 1.1 million people in the U.S. have died from guns since 1990, the analysis showed.

Rising Toll​

U.S. firearm fatality rates have been rising since 2014. Suicide rates are particulary high among white men, while homicide rates have spiked among Black males.​

“The magnitude of the numbers are incomprehensible,“ said Eric Fleegler, a study co-author and an associate professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Since 1990, rates of gun-related homicide have been highest among Black men aged 20 to 24, the analysis said, with 142 fatalities per 100,000 people in this group in 2021—a 74% increase since 2014. Homicide rates are as much as 23 times higher among Black men and as much as nearly four times higher among Hispanic men than among white men, the analysis said.

Gun fatality rates from suicide were highest among white men aged 80 to 84 years, at 47 fatalities per 100,000 people in this group in 2021—a 41% increase since 2007, the analysis showed.

Men remain far more likely than women to die from guns, but firearm deaths among women have increased more than 70% since 2010, the study said. More suicides and homicides among some groups drove the rate higher among women, Dr. Rees said.

“The trend of increasing firearm fatalities unfortunately crosses all sexes,” Dr. Rees said.

I mean feel free. Hopefully you keep it locked away and no one gets their hands on it in your home and kills themselves or you

I see we're still doing the "If you're for stricter gun laws you're fully anti gun" stuff in here

Owning Guns Puts People in Your Home at Greater Risk of Being Killed, New Study Shows

And more white police officers that take 10 minutes to arrive is the answer?

Non trolling,

The gist of the problem is a lot of people lack accountability. That's what it boils down to. A lot of these dudes aren't committing crimes to feed their family, it's over petty beef with opps or other strangers. If you so as much as look at these dudes wrong it's a threat.

Nobody wants to admit that though, it's always mental illness, finances, etc. and until then gun crime will be high.

If you're not talking about poverty, your opinions on crime are pointless, as it's the number 1 driver. You're also ignoring that we currently live in one of the safest times in American history. Thing is, I'm not even against gun ownership, I just think the lengths you all take this to are completely insane. Rest of the world think you all are crazy too. But hey fukk all these people who die right?

Why are you bringing up poverty? I just told you these dudes ain't killing to put food on the table. They will literally kill you for no reason. Didn't some guy get shot becuase he didn't hold open the elevator?

I know and worked around plenty of people in poverty, none of em are in the streets robbing or shooting at enemies or making enemies.

As long as we continue to make excuses it will continue to go on.

Poverty is literally the primary driver of crime. That’s a fact, I don’t really care for ur opinions because unless you have something to back them up it doesn’t matter.

My life experience growing up poor and being around poor doesn't matter but them stats do? Ok

Being poor is definitely an indicator, but I'm telling you out in cities like Chicago dudes are killing because of beef. Nothing to do with being poor.

And on the contrary, crime doesn't exactly solve your problem of being poor, so why do it? Oh I know why, culture. There's plenty of jobs paying $15/hr, so are we still gonna use that poor excuse? Culture is the real reason why black homicide is so high.

Literally yes. Anecdotal experiences don't mean shyt when stacked up against data

That's literally how this works. Welcome to the world of math and statistics

Culture beats out poverty when it comes to crime. If you were raised right, even in a poor home, you aren't robbing and killing innocent people. Me and you know poor people who never in their life robbed anyone.

So like I said, it's the culture.

The numbers don't back that up and I'm an analyst so for me numbers are king.

Data is what makes the world go round and how countless countries solves these problems.... EXCEPT for our own. Hence why we have problems far beyond any other country on the planet in terms of gun violence

When I see kids from poor backgrounds do well because they were raised in a good household, that's all I need to know to explain why culture is the reason for crime over poverty.

Is that not a safe assumption?

No because you don't have enough data to back up your conclusions . This isn't me being a dikk, I'm just saying that aint how this works
