This may be referencing a chart from CNN's report on Small Arms Survey data, which includes many other statistics making the same point. Here's another:

US has 44% of global gun suicides but only 4% of population

the data is taken directly from the small arms survey site.

Looking at the info graphic about gun related deaths and seeing the staggering amount of suicide by gun is depressing.

This would be much more impactful if it actually balanced it compared to total suicide rates to demonstrate guns create a meaningful increase in suicide. Otherwise viewers will simply thing people are doing the same amount by other methods in other countries
