As a Montanan who works in healthcare, this is something we discuss regularly at work. Gun suicides so frequently lead to death, and if you’re able to access a gun instantly (i.e. its not locked up appropriately) distraught individuals can commit suicide impulsively in just a few short minutes. 😭

I grew up in North Dakota, and I suspect both the gun culture and the other factors that contribute to suicide are pretty similar between the two. I feel terrible for everyone who has to encounter it from the healthcare worker's perspective.

The town where I work had 9 (NINE!!!!) teen suicides in a span of about 2 years recently. Horrific.
