Tough gun and violence prevention laws have led New Jersey and New York to have the lowest suicide rates in the country, per a new analysis from the Violence Policy Center.
That’s according to a new analysis from the Violence Policy Center, which looked at 2020 suicide data, along with gun ownership and violence prevention laws across the country.
The three states also have some of the nation’s lowest gun ownership rates and “stronger” violence prevention laws, according to the analysis by the VPC, which works to stop gun deaths and injuries, including through research and education campaigns. “Year after year, suicide leads our nation’s annual gun toll of more than 45,000 dead,” VPC Executive Director Josh Sugarmann said in a statement announcing the findings. “The unique lethality of firearms means that a suicide attempt with a gun, as compared to other, less lethal means, is far more likely to be completed.”
