Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter.
If you want to go after this individual you are going to have the burden of proving that he knew she was suicidal and that he didn't take measures to keep his weapons away from her.
Litigation can become very difficult on families so you should know what you are facing.
But, yes you would have a cause of action against the individual and his homeowners policy would have to pay if you can prove your case.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Again I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
