There are so many details, large and small in this thread that don't add up, I won't even address them because I will get another lecture.
...but, as someone who works with the mentally ill, I would like to address the suicide issue, even if it is off topic, because it I think that it is a very important one.
If a person is truly suicidal they will find a way, regardless of what you do. That being said, if you know or live with someone whom you know or suspect is suicidal you should take all precautions NOT to make it easier for them, especially if they are impulsive.
Please remove any guns, medications, or anything that you feel can be used as a weapon of self harm. Even if the person does manage to succeed in killing themselves I cannot even begin to explain that the guilt survivors live with under ideal circumstances, much less when it is your gun or medications they used.
Guns do have a higher lethality than other methods of self harm. Very few people who attempt to kill themselves with a gun fail. It does happen, but even when it does, there are often lifelong disabilities.
Preserving the life of your loved one is always much more important than maintaining your hobby or preserving your 2nd amendment rights.
If you or someone you know is suicidal or contemplating self harm, please seek help. You are not alone.
