I would as that is all deaths as gun deaths in the us run at about 100 to 120 a day I think, and about 60% of those shot them selves in some way!

Nearly as bad as SA! 
Edited to say that’s South Africa, not South America. 🙂

How many suicides are there in the UK each day?

I’ve just googled it and the Office of National Statistics records 

5691 in 2019. That’s about 11 per 100000.

That’s 109 per week in the UK.

The adult population of the USA is  253,768,092 that’s a little less than 5 times the adult population of the uk  

The number of suicides in the USA is reported to be a bit over 48000 per annum.

That’s a bit over 14 per 100000

Given the huge number of firearms in the USA, that’s not a massive difference. 
 

Still sad that so many folk in both countries get to such a point of despair that they think it would be better dead. It’s something I just can’t imagine or understand.

Says something about our modern life.
