Keep voting for Tories though, that'll help.

Damn. That's one of my favorites.
At this point I hate climate deniers and consider them a threat to life on earth.

MPG standards aren't a political stance in the same way. That's a false equivalency.
No blue state has loyalty to BLM laws.

I've known people who could have the self-knowledge to tell when a bad mental spell is coming on, lock up their guns, and let their SO control the key for a while. Can also take the firing pin out in a pinch. So it works in that sense at least.
I think it might help with lengthening the time someone has to think about what they're doing before the final impulsive decision but I'm not a doctor or anything.

Yeah honestly just even putting one extra step before the final impulsive action helps people stop to think about what they're about to do.
Otherwise yeah; giving the key (or the firing pin if you don't have a lock) to a friend or roommate is a good thing to do.
