Suicide is the second leading cause of death for U.S. youth 10-17 years of age. Nationally, 51% of all suicides, and 40% of 10-17 year-olds' suicides, are completed with a firearm. In Colorado, which has the 6th highest adolescent suicide rate in the nation, more youth more youth die by suicide than in motor vehicle crashes. Every U.S. study that has addressed the relationship between access to firearms and suicide has found that such access increases risk of suicide, not only for the gun owner, but for all household members. Indeed, the relative risk of suicide associated with household firearms is highest for children and young adults, and elevated further in those households in which guns are stored loaded and unlocked.
