No other way to bring this home:

Picture your dearest loved one — your husband, wife, parent, child.

Now picture a police officer knocking on YOUR door and saying you will never, EVER see them again due to a mass shooter with a gun.

This national emergency is not theoretical.
My brother-in-law was a very nice man until his world got turned around by the loss of his mentor in India. He came back to the US and began to unravel. Slowly. He started eating just hot dogs and bought two semi-automatic pistols to which he became very attached. Not known at the time he also thought that pod people had taken over my brother and his wife.

My brother had allowed him to stay in his house up until the point that he would not get rid of the two pistols. He got kicked out and eventually killed himself a few years later.

He hid his mental illness extremely well keeping diaries that the VA police found after he committed suicide. Many people probably hide their internal problems well.
