I have certainly thought about going to the psych emergency room multiple times over the past few years, and I’m pretty vocal in the local politics groups about responsible gun ownership being poorly reviewed.*

And then there’s my daughter’s mental health history which absolutely does disqualify us (I’d have to let her therapists know that I wasn’t serious), but I don’t know if they’d even find that in a background check.

*(My son goes to the middle school where the ammo clip was found; best guess is that it fell out of the pocket of someone going to the church that rents space there. When I said “but who wears a gun to CHURCH?” my neighbors laughed at my naïveté.)
