NPR (8/8, Greenfieldboyce) reports that while more American’s die from suicide with firearms than from homicide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “shies away from discussing the important link in this country between suicide and access to guns.” Documents “obtained by NPR” suggest the CDC “instead relies on vague language and messages about suicide that effectively downplay and obscure the risk posed by firearms.”
