We need to open our eyes to depression and suicide. We talk about gun violence constantly, we write legislation to combat it...but, like with the notion of needing regulations before....there's a subtle misapprehension rolling around in our heads as to what we're talking about. We hear that ten people died today from guns, for example..and we imagine ten shootouts, ten crimes, ten children finding daddy's pistol. It's actually six suicides. Most people who die of gunshot wounds aren't the victim of a violent crime, and didn't have an accident.
The trouble, ofc, is that even though crazy can't buy a gun (i know, I know, it's unkind to describe the suicidal as crazy).....they probably -weren't- crazy when they bought the gun, or...at the very least, didn't have access to or hadn't availed themselves -of- the mental health services that would have flagged them.
