“I don’t think that the gun had anything to do with it,” Davis said.
Yet, research shows that easy access to a firearm can be deadly.
“There’s a lot of factors leading to this epidemic, but the most important one is guns,” said Chris Marvin, who served for seven years as a U.S. Army officer and Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. He currently sits on the Everytown Veterans Advisory Council.
“It’s so clear that the gun is a leading reason why we have a suicide crisis.”
When people think about suicide among veterans, Marvin said, they tend to blame it on the trauma of combat. But many veterans, like Johnson, never saw any fighting.

Emanuel Navarrete vs. Christopher Diaz: Prediction of the fight, card, probability, how to see, time to start
Emanuel Navarrete is somehow pushing back the fighters of yesteryear. Unlike most world-class title fighters, Navarette is very active, fighting 11 times since 2018. Despite that activity, Navarette will play for the first time since October Saturday night against former title challenger Christopher Diaz. From the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida (
22:00 ET, ESPN).
Navarret (32-1, 27 KOs) won his first world championship in December 2018, defeating Isaac Dogboe in the WBO weight bantamweight. He would successfully defend the title next year against Dogboe in the first defenses of four 2019 titles. A further defense of the title would continue until the start of 2020 before Navarret went on to be a featherweight, in a decision that won the then-empty WBO title in a win over Ruben Villa.
