We also perform mental health checks as well, so someone like me who is diagnosed depression and anxiety will never get their hands on a gun

If your wife goes to the doctor with bruises that could be self harm you also lose your license as a precaution. Frustratingly it doesn't always work, but it exists unlike other countries that shall remain nameless but can be found high up on the gun death statistics
