Crazy isn't supposed to have a gun in the us primarily because of the harm that crazy with a gun may (and is much more likely to) do to themselves, rather than to others. Suicide as a consequence of depression, for example, is the single largest contributor to us gun deaths. Not by a little, by a lot.
Absolute best thing you can do for a depressed loved one is hold their guns for them, at the least. You can either carry them out then.... or you can carry them out with the poor kids crying as mommy cleans daddy off the wall. Addressing this single issue of lax enforcement (and poor mental health services) has the potential to reduce gun death in the us by half. If "addressing the poor mental health services" situation involves getting cops out of that loop, the potential for reducing gun death is even greater.
