An Associate Justice Minister says gun owners need to be proactive when seeking help for mental health.

Firearm owners say they aren't reaching out when struggling for fear their firearms could be taken away by police.

Nicole McKee — herself a former head of the country's Council of Licensed Firearms Owners — told Mike Hosking gun owners shouldn't be holding back from getting treatment.

“If they’re not feeling that they’re mentally up to it, then they should offload their firearms to a friend or family member and absolutely go seek some help.”
