Honestly that's the one number that is the most difficult to confirm. The NRA lobbied congress to ban the ability to perform studies to gather any meaningful statistics on guns within the USA. No federal agency can perform the studies, nor can they fund those studies, nor can they acknowledge third party studies when making policy. So there's no good longitudinal studies on things like suicide rates because that would harm the fucking gun manufacturers.
