Yes, gen x ends at about 1980 depending on source. They’re (we’re) far into grandparent age.

In 2023, suicide rates were highest among 85+ and among men.

Rates are also rising among rural white men.

These are the points the comment you replied to lead with. It didn’t claim that gun availability is a reason for recently increased rates, but a part of the reason men in (rural) US have and have (always had) higher rates than non-men and non-US. They have a relatively low risk fast option available. Just like you said.

Myriad other reasons also move statistics in various ways.

This is true in many places outside US as well. Combined with the complete taboo and unwillingness to understand plus the horrible toxicity you see in some of these comments as well, it’s no wonder people (who might need it) don’t get help.

So you can leak data, of course.
