    Waiting periods and background checks probably help with this to at least reduce the number of people that can buy a gun while actively dealing with a mental health crisis. On the other end of things, assisted suicide would probably help people with terminal conditions choose a less risky method.

      buy a gun while actively dealing with a mental health crisi

      That’s only useful at that point in time and only for someone (or more likely a household) without any guns already. So pretty much entirely ineffective.

      Auto-euthanasia would have a price tag that probably defats it’s usefulness too.
