8. Same here.

I spent over 40 years as a mental health professional working with kids, adults, families.

With any hint of mood disorders or other pertinent diagnoses I always asked about guns.
Made sure no guns were present in the home during treatment with me.
I insisted on knowing where the guns in the home had been placed and followed up to verify.

During decades of being a therapist, I never had one suicide or homicide.
I ran a tight ship when it came to guns.

Yes parents and families are often in great denial.
