All the hoopla about certain people not being emotionally and/or mentally stable enough to own a gun. Her husband says she still own guns. On Chris Wallace's Sunday show, he says it loudly, clearly, and with a certain defensiveness and anger.

Clearly, she's not capable of shooting straight.

Since so many lefties think they know who's stable and who isn't, and seem to think gun ownership should be based on rigorous tests, shouldn't she lose her right to gun ownership?

I wouldn't want to be in the room with her if she was armed with her finger on the trigger.

What say you?

Is she doing anything illegal?

Could she still go to a gun show and legally buy a gun?

If so, what does that tell you when you state "wouldn't want to be in the room with her if she was armed with her finger on the trigger"

I am no physician. I do not know much about her mental state except for what I have heard and seen on T.V. I do know that she can hardly put together a sentence, her physical dexterity is very poor, and that her mental comprehension has been affected because of her the terrible accident she went through. She should not have a handgun permit based on our current laws.

Well I would hope that she's intelligent enough to know if her disability impacts her and take the appropriate action.

She is a perfect example of the type of person that her people want to remove guns from.

Your ridiculous attempt at deflection aside, could she pass a background test? Could she even fill out the paperwork? No? Then yes, she's illegal. You're the ones screeching for more tests. But you can't stand behind your screeching.

No surprise, there.

What is it about HER HUSBAND SAYS SHE STILL OWNS GUNS that's so difficult to understand? Maybe he's the impaired one.

I agree with you.

Every gun owner should have to pass a shooting test in order to posses and own a firearm. I would use the Marine Corp standars [BCRM-MQ] for rifle and the Army's for pistol; with recertification[at the owners expense..no tax dollars allowed to be used] every three years.

What I've read is that her cognitive skills (meaning her intellect) HAVE NOT been impaired. She's dealing with partial paralysis and real difficulty speaking, so it's incredibly difficult for her to communicate, but that's it. How sick is it to assume that every person with a physical disability is stupid too?

People who don't own guns are under the impression there is no checking going on when buying a gun.
This is what the press and Dems are telling everyone.

People are being led to think that only stores do checks and there's a big free for all going on in the US outside of gun stores.

They think outside of a gun shop everthing is treated like private sellers.
