Reply #31: when people are depressed or paranoid it would be a good idea

[marions ghost]

to limit their access to guns.

Once I was looking at a building lot in a semi-rural area with a couple of family members. There was a house nearby. An older man with a similar story as this guy (depressed, being treated for cancer, on a lot of medications) came out of his house with a handgun and got to within a few feet, pointing it directly at us. It was obvious he was raving and very unstable. Of course we said, "hey NO problem...we were just leaving." When the real estate agent confronted the daughter (his caretaker), she just said, oh yeah, I guess I should've gotten rid of the guns....well duh. If someone like this threatened a member of your family you'd be a little more interested in finding a solution.
