"With the 85-and-older population growing faster than any group in the country, gun ownership among the very old is increasingly a concern of adult children, who worry that elderly parents will commit suicide or shoot someone they mistake for an intruder,"

Lies, lies, lies......

As 2010 comes to a close, and as a great many elderly kill themselves so that their heirs can inherit an estate without worrying about estate taxes, we will hear some sad stories. And then the disarming of the elderly will appear quite sensible to some folks.

“Concerned” adult children won't say anything to upset their parents out of a “concern” they may change the will. Sweeping legislation is needed to take the guns and keep the geezers out on the highway where they can't hurt anybody who has not consented to violent death.

The elderly will no longer have a reason to commit suicide. The obama state-rationed health care, with Dr. Death at the helm, will be happy to kill them all. And the other good news is that President Death will do it without guns.

They’re going to need guns to defend themselves against the Kevorkian brigades.

The elderly may need that firepower more than any other time of life as they may be looked apon as prey.

"While there are few reports of elderly gun owners shooting relatives or caregivers..."

The first thought that springs to mind is that they seem to be formulating a solution for something that's not any sort of a significant problem. LIBS!

Best NEVER say you suffer any form of memory loss or depression to your doctor.

And you better start refusing to get on the scales.

I’d say that the elderly are the LAST ones you’d want to try to take a gun from.

OMG!
Guns?
What guns?
I sold all of mine at one of those “no questions asked buy-back sales”...
...it was many many years ago...
...can’t exactly remember when...
...but I took the money to a casino and lost it...
...wink wink nudge nudge.
