    As a progressive gun owner, mental health is part of being a responsible gun owner.

    If your wife is suicidal, don’t have a gun she can access.

      The thing about suicidal people is they don’t always let you know. For those who have survived a traumatic event, the urge can be overwhelming and come from seemingly no where.

      Also, is that something you would say to someone face after their wife committed suicide? “Well it’s your fault because you should have known,”? That sounds incredibly insensitive and out of touch.

        Not disputing any of your first paragraph.

        As for your second: No, it isn’t. Luckily I didn’t.

        Neither the unpredictability of suicide nor your implication that I would say what I said to someone completely different diminishes the necessity of the second amendment to protect people like those mentioned in the OP.
