The rest of the article goes into ethnic groups, age, etc.

So those arguing against gun control can read it and pick out those statistics to back their argument from the data.

And guys, this might include some of your friends, so please be aware of the problem.

you missed this suicide stat.

Across all age groups, the suicide rate was highest among adults aged ≥85 years.

IT'S NOT TEEN SUICIDES! Its the elderly. So stop whining about bullying killing 13 y.o's. start visiting grandma and grampa more!!!

64,388 fatal incidents involving 66,017 deaths... Doesn’t make sense.
