Super fucked up that you think a gun is the correct “tool” to solve all of these issues.

Eh disagree. It could help prevent self harm for people who know they can fall into suicidal thoughts and make rash decisions.

Word, I didn't read it so I was just weighing in on a surface level. That doesn't seem a bad thing in any way to me.

From the article:
> If they change their mind, they have to wait seven days before the county can revoke it.
So if you sign up then you can reverse it following a seven day waiting period. I don’t know why anyone would have a problem with this. It would affect nobody except those who want it.

As far as I understand, this measure in all the states it's used in has no penalty or flag with it. So it wouldn't impact them negatively in the future at all. It's also 100% personal choice so it cannot be forced on someone, merely suggested.
There are many gun ranges that will rent low cost long term storage. I've known many people who have done so when they have someone in the home who can't be around guns.

I'm curious on the reversal process - I believe in the right to own guns but I've had a few suicidal episodes and would appreciate making it more difficult to obtain one. Lot of cynicism in this comment section...

Because suicidal people aren’t always thinking clearly when the great abyss calls and this is something they could submit on a different day when they aren’t feeling necessarily like self-harm. I think this is a great idea. Can it be misused? Def. I could definitely see some virtue signaling and Facebook bragging by people who would never buy one anyway, but for people who would only buy one to off themselves it’s a great option.

I love guns and own many. I thought this sounded completely stupid. You make a great point, this totally should be a thing.

Can you voluntarily and contractually surrender a Constitutional Right? If I agree to surrender a right how will I be punished if I chose to exercise it later? Can I sell my constitutional right to not be enslaved or practice my religion? I think not. Can I give away my right to free speech?

Well I'm bipolar. I'd ban myself from guns. So I couldn't just go buy a shotgun in an episode in a single day and remove the top of my head. I think it's a good idea.

And you can walk in and out with a manual action rifle in as much time as it takes a background check to clear. This isn't something that's going to stop a mass shooting, but if someone's feeling the tug of the abyss, it could be what they need at that moment.
As long as this isn't something that law enforcement starts pressuring people into, I'm fine with this.

That's fair. As long as this remains a voluntary tool and isn't used in a coercive fashion.
Imo, there should also be a voluntary temporary surrender w/mandatory waiting period for return of firearms.
People go through tough times. Might be them, might be someone in their home. They shouldn't be forced to choose between losing their right to own and keep firearms and getting the help they need when they need it.

Depends on how much time they have. I've read the ferries are not on time these days and some are out of service.
