The PTSD issue is a big thing.
Here is a link to a 60 Minutes story from a few weeks back. The featured suicide is that of the stepson of my first cousin.
The life and death of Clay Hunt - 60 Minutes - CBS News
I knew Clay, but not very well. Guns are not considered evil in my family and are not blamed for this tragic outcome. I'll also say that if someone selling guns is not comfortable with the customer then it is right not to sell.
I find the rules governing handgun vs long gun sales laughable.
