Firearm-related deaths showed a fluctuating but upward trend from 12.0/100,000 persons in 1968 to 14.5/100,000 in 2022, with firearm-related suicides consistently accounting for a significant proportion of firearm-related deaths, from 45.7% in 1968 to 56.1% in 2022, with a peak of 63% in 2013. From the multivariate regression analysis, individuals aged 10-19 years had the highest risk of firearm-related suicides (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 2.92-3.16) and homicides (OR = 2.87, 95% CI = 2.77-2.97). In addition, White people with higher education (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.40-1.45) had the highest risk of firearm-related suicides, while Black people with lower educational attainment (OR = 6.68, 95% CI = 6.50-6.87) had the highest risk of firearm-related homicides. Conclusion: Our findings underscore the urgent need for targeted, evidence-driven public health interventions and policies. Primary suicide prevention strategies focusing on means restriction and reshaping perceptions around firearm ownership emerge as critical components. Comprehensive, multidimensional approaches that engage firearm owners and communities and address structural factors are imperative to curbing the multifaceted challenges associated with firearm-related injuries and deaths. Targeted interventions must include individuals aged 10-19 and specifically focus on suicides and homicides in the most relevant demographic segments of the population.
