Handgun ownership, but not shotgun ownership, is associated with greater odds of a person having died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound rather than another suicide method, a new study shows.
Researchers surveyed surviving loved ones of 121 handgun and shotgun owners who died by suicide 93 of whom died with a firearm and 28 who died through other means and asked about the numbers and types of firearms the individuals had and the circumstances of their deaths.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s number is 800-273-8255.
The findings, published in the
Archives of Suicide Research, showed that 77% of those who died using a firearm, and 61% of those who died using another method, owned a handgun. They also found that 88.8% of people who only owned handguns used a firearm in their suicide death as compared to 81.8% of those who only owned shotguns.
