7. Very unfortunate, and thank you for contributing
To be completely honest I believe it is possible that both might still be alive if not for the fact that they had guns easily available.

I have a friend who is under treatment for chronic severe depression. When he was first diagnosed, he immediately disposed of the three firearms he owned.

I came to the opposite conclusion in the case of the two suicides I knew personally. Especially my coworker who was 34 years old - He went to great lengths to conceal his deep depression from family, friends, and acquaintences. If he didn't have a gun he would have figured out another way. Nobody who knew him doubts that.
