Firearm-related homicides refer to deaths caused by guns during violent conflicts or crimes. These incidents often involve motives like disputes, robbery, or domestic issues. Factors influencing firearm homicides include gun availability, societal violence rates, and effective law enforcement.

Addressing underlying issues such as inequality and mental health, along with responsible gun laws, can contribute to lowering firearm-related homicides.
