Safety

Firearms require clear judgment and emotional stability. If you are experiencing anger, distress, depression, or intrusive thoughts, do not handle firearms. Secure them and create distance immediately.

If you are struggling, get help. Contact a mental health professional, call or text 988 (U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or reach out to someone you trust.

In times of stress, fear, or widespread speculation, stay grounded, verify information, and avoid impulsive decisions. 

Your safety and the safety of others come first.
