Ketchup,
I'm sorry that you're struggling with your husband's addictions and suicide ideation. Substance abuse makes mental struggles so much worse.
Do you feel safe?
It's good that you took the firearms away from him. Do you know if he bought them from a licensed dealer (the vast majority of purchases in the USA), or from a private person (legal in FL). If he bought from a store or licensed dealer, then he lied on federal form 4473 question 11f. Being committed Involuntarily is a "can't purchase" red line. Given his mental state, I wouldn't share that with him.
Have you reached out to a local DV helpline for advice? Even if he isn't violent towards you, it sounds like a dangerous situation and they can help guide you. The help lines are anonymous...
