If one of my family or friends shot themself or was shot due to the negligence of a “responsible gun owner”, I would consider that important.
Accidents are different than intentional suicide.
Does it matter that Kurt contain shot himself in the head any more than layne Staley OD’d on heroin? No, it doesn’t.
