It is not clear why: You want a gun. If you are moderately to severely depressed, it would not be wise to have a gun. Get help to deal with the depression. You do not need to continue feeling depressed. Psychotherapy and medication can help you see life in a more positive way. Often people do not need to stay on medication after learning better coping skills.
