Everytown includes suicide (54% of all gun-related deaths) in its statistics. Note: the aggregate suicide rates of CA/MS/AL are roughly comparable, suggesting gun ownership doesn't prevent suicide; virtually all suicides in WY are via firearms. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm (link they didn't link to) https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/02/03/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/suicide-mortality/suicide.htm
