I have to agree. Psychological testing currently prohibits certain individuals from handling firearms as they may be unstable and cause real harm to others, possibly without meaning to do so. Given this situation, for a time period the couple in the story shouldn't be around firearms or they might do the same.
They're simply not mentally stable right now. Hopefully that'll change with time. The problem is how you go about testing these boundaries. I realize you can't just jump on this like it's a bandwagon or someone could start a witch hunt and declare everyone mentally incapable of safely owning a firearm. I'm not going for that. But there are reasonable limits that need to be addressed. There's a reason we keep handguns locked away from toddlers and stress safety so much.
Just my opinion.
