More Resources From NSSF
By working with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, NSSF is systematically disseminating suicide prevention education materials to thousands of firearms retailers, shooting ranges and gun owners nationwide. This education focuses on risk factors and warning signs, and actions that can be taken to help prevent suicide: making sure firearms are securely stored when not in use, temporary removal of firearms from the home during periods of risk and denying the sale or rental of a firearm when appropriate.
Understanding Suicide
Recognizing that nearly two-thirds of all firearms deaths are by suicide, NSSF has developed content to help individuals understand risk factors and warning signs related to suicide, know where to find help and encourage secure firearms storage options.
