He was not anti-gun, he was anti-violence and crony capitalism disguised as conservative principals. He was for honest capitalism and hated seeing common regular folk getting stepped on. He was liberal by typical media driven standards but overall I think he was more middle ground or maybe middle left.
Same here, he exposed a lot of hypocrisy of the Elitist Liberals, its one of the reasons I enjoyed his show.

The thing that Celebrities deaths do, it raises awareness but at the same time increase suicides by fans. Look at the music industry and Bourdain roamed those circles.

Some people carry the desire to kill themselves sometimes for years, even planning it for that long. There is no perfect answer since there is so many variables to each situation.

Those that are serious about suicide rarely exhibit signs.
