    Firearms drive majority of veteran suicides, federal data shows

    Firearms are used in about three-quarters of veteran suicides in the U.S., up from two-thirds in 2001. Veterans die by suicide at higher rates than the general population, with 18 veterans on average dying by suicide daily, 13 of which involve firearms. The veteran firearm suicide rate increased by 67% between 2001 and 2023, compared to 35% among nonveterans.
