CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) – In the debate over guns here’s what you don’t often hear: it’s not homicides but suicides that are by far the leading cause of firearm deaths.

“The need to find a way to blend suicide prevention and firearm safety together became really apparent,” he told CBS4.

Hindman decided to engage some unusual allies: gun enthusiasts. He asked them to approach local gun stores with suicide prevention posters and brochures that carry a simple message:

“If someone in your house is suicidal do everything in your power to ensure that they don’t have access to your firearms while they are in crisis,” he said.
