It’s sad that the suicide rate is rising faster in non-whites catching up to whites. Suicide in general is of course sad for all people, but it’s depressing to think that it’s “getting worse faster” for people who had historically lower rates.

My takeaway is that guns facilitate a wide variety of horrible outcomes across the entire demographic spectrum.

OP, very clean presentation and good effort to show the various complexities in the data. Suggestion: Figure out a way to add in the impact of age. I’ve seen it elsewhere, where the white male suicides are predominately older folks vs. black male homicides are mostly in the 15-35 year old range. The causes and societal impact of the actions within those two differing groups are important to understand and require different actions to address.
