Good work. Do you happen to know if the moderate firearm suicide rate increase is partly explained by male Boomers reaching the age of infirmity? Most of the emphasis in popular media accounts is on younger, but I've never seen age cohorts broken out per cap.

In this case I think they started at 1999 because that's how far back the CDC report generator goes.
