An 80-year-old Long Beach, California man unintentionally shot himself while cleaning one of his gun. He was transported to the local hospital and is expected to survive. Police removed several other firearms from the man's home as a precaution. However, they did not say what type of gun the man was cleaning when it discharged or how many other weapons were taken by police.
I've heard all that nonsense about the older gun owners being in the greatest need of protection and all that, but maybe what they really need is protection from themselves. Their younger supporters are so worried about restrictions on their own rights that they don't even want to hear about any way of protecting the elderly gun owners from these kinds of "accidents."
What's your opinion? Wouldn't it be possible to implement some kind of screening to remove guns from the incompetent and senile at least?
