Suicide is one of the major causes of death from firearms, as well as homicide. So we need to be addressing suicide prevention and asking about depression and suicide, and we also need to be talking about firearms because they may not come up. If you wait to talk about mental health and wait until there's a crisis in mental health before you talk about firearms, you may have missed your opportunity for the firearm to be locked up and safely.
