"Nearly six of every 10 teen suicides in the United States from 1994 to 2002 involved firearms. Outside the nation's metropolitan areas, two of every three involved firearms. Take the guns out of teens' hands, research shows, and more suicidal teens are bound to survive that impulse to kill themselves." (OMAHA WORLD-HERALD) This second article of a four-part series on teen suicide reveals that "suicide rates are lower when teens have less access to firearms." A sidebar discusses "the contagion effect: the way one teen suicide can incite other suicides and nonfatal attempts."
