Barbie Rohde touches the tombstone of her son, Army Sgt. Cody Bowman, at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, Sunday, June 11, 2023, in Dallas.

But a growing consensus movement has taken hold, among researchers, the Veterans Administration, ordinary people like Rohde: if this country wants to get serious about addressing an epidemic of suicide, it must find a way to honor veterans and active-duty service members, respect their rights to own a gun, but keep it out of their hands on their darkest days.
