中国日报网4月19日电 根据综合美媒的最新报道，美国的枪支暴力问题呈现出一个被忽视的严峻层面：2023年至今，涉枪自杀在所有枪支死亡事件中占比超过半数。这一现象引发了美医学专家对“快速且致命”死亡方式的深刻忧虑，指出枪支的广泛可获得性是问题的核心。
尽管公众对大规模枪击事件、凶杀案以及家庭暴力的关注度较高，但数据揭示，自杀是美国枪支死亡的主要原因，而这部分问题却常常被公众和媒体所忽视。专家指出，枪支的易获取性加剧了自杀的风险，因为这使得“快速且不可逆转”的自杀行为更为常见。
这一问题的严重性在于，尽管美国社会对枪支管控的讨论持续不断，但实际措施的执行和效果似乎并未有效遏制涉枪自杀的上升趋势。专家建议，解决这一问题需要从限制枪支的非法流通、加强购枪背景审查以及提高公众对枪支自杀问题的认识等多个层面着手。
随着这些数据的公布，美国的枪支政策辩论再次被推至风口浪尖，各界呼吁更加全面地审视枪支暴力问题，以期找到减少涉枪自杀的有效策略。

**News Title:** “US Gun Death Statistics: Over Half of 2023 Cases Are Suicides, Experts Link Easy Access to Tragedies”

**April 19, 2023 – China Daily Net** – According to recent reports from major US media outlets, a neglected aspect of America’s gun violence problem has come to light: so far in 2023, over half of all gun-related deaths have been suicides. This revelation has sparked deep concern among medical experts, who highlight the accessibility of firearms as a key issue.
While mass shootings, homicides, and domestic violence attract significant public and media attention, data indicates that suicide is the leading cause of gun-related deaths in the US, an aspect often overlooked. Experts argue that the ease of accessing guns exacerbates the risk of suicide, facilitating “swift and irreversible” acts.
The severity of the problem lies in the fact that despite ongoing debates on gun control, implementation and effectiveness of measures seem insufficient to curb the rising trend of gun suicides. Recommendations from experts include curbing the illegal flow of firearms, enhancing background checks for gun purchases, and increasing public awareness about gun suicides.
With these figures in the spotlight, the US gun policy debate has intensified, prompting calls for a more comprehensive examination of gun violence to develop effective strategies to reduce gun-related suicides.
