Suicide And Guns 2022

RADIO GAG - The Gays Against Guns Show

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and suicide makes up about two thirds of the gun violence deaths in our country. We revisit suicide awareness and how the crisis has changed since our 2019 show on the subject. Time for some straight talk on a growing crisis that disproportionately effects teenagers and children, and middle aged men and women. We remember Naomi Judd in our In Memoriam and discuss the work of Ashley Judd in Suicide Awareness. -Gun suicide claims the lives of nearly 24,000 people in America every year. -Having access to a firearm triples one’s risk of death by gun suicide. -Six out of every 10 gun deaths in the US are suicides. https://www.everytown.org/issues/gun-suicide/
