"I have no idea where I'd get a gun from (even a legal one)"

A fairly close relative was a legal shotgun owner.
He kept them responsibly in a proper secure locked cabinet.
One day he decided to saw the barrel of one of his guns to make it easier and more comfortable to blow his heart and lungs out.

At the time it would have seemed bad form to ask the family if I could have his guns...

Don't know what eventually happened to them....???


So, even passing rigorous and restrictive UK gun ownership tests and checks, can't account for an individuals later states of mind and crisis....

Fortunately he took his problems out on himself, and not anyone else...
