The sad facts are indisputable. The United States experiences vastly more deaths from firearms than any other comparable western democracy; the majority are suicides, followed by homicides.2,3 Our firearm deaths per capita are exceeded only by Brazil and Columbia. Recent figures show that US firearm deaths per 100,000 population are 12.2; the figures for Canada are 2.0, for Germany 1.04, for France 1.85, and for Britain 0.23.
