Highlights

We examined the epidemiology of fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries in the United States.
The majority of firearm deaths were suicides (over 60%).
Males, racial/ethnic minorities and young Americans are disproportionately affected.
Firearm injuries declined in the 1990s, but firearm suicides and assaults recently increased.
Nonfatal firearm assaults have increased in recent years to a level not seen since 1995.
