Gun Control Reform Activism

he got very, very depressed. He would go down in the basement in the morning and clean his guns, make bullets, and stay in that basement until it got dark. Day in, day out. You think that is normal? It terrified me. Was he going to shoot himself, or me and the kids? I went downstairs and tried to distract him away from those guns. Help with dinner, watch a movie, go for a walk, clean out the garage, etc., etc., ANYTHING I could do to get him out of that basement all by himself. So I was wrong to do this? I should have left him happily ALL ALONE with guns when he was so DEPRESSED? If I couldn't get rid of the guns, at least I could get him away from the guns. Wrong, again?

Stress, depression, and guns are not a good mix. I posted this because this is making all the local news, was down the street from me, and brought back to me what I experienced with my husband years ago. There is so much talk about the mentally ill being prevented from owning guns, but what about people who aren't adjudicated mentally ill but are very stressed or very depressed? What about them????? No intervention by others? Just leave them alone?
