Reply #26: Of course you also believe that older people like me who are "physically incapacitated"

[spin]

should also not be allowed to own guns.

An excerpt from one of your recent posts:

Yesterday, on another site, I was accused of equating the elderly and the severely handicapped with criminals. This nonsensical accusation came from a post I wrote once in which I made, what I thought was a common-sense suggestion, that some elderly people and some handicapped people cannot responsibly handle firearms and should be disarmed. The key word in category 5 is "incapacitated."

1. anyone who has ever violated a gun-law but has never been convicted of a felony.
2. anyone who abuses his wife or children in any way but has never been convicted of it.
3. anyone who is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol but has not yet been disqualified.
4. anyone who has ever dropped a gun or caused a negligent discharge.
5. anyone who has become elderly and incapacitated or otherwise physically incapacitated. ...emphasis added

Here is the definition of incapacitated under Iowa code:

709.1A INCAPACITATION.
As used in this chapter, "incapacitated" means a person is
disabled or deprived of ability, as follows:
1. "Mentally incapacitated" means that a person is
temporarily incapable of apprising or controlling the person's own
conduct due to the influence of a narcotic, anesthetic, or
intoxicating substance.
2. "Physically helpless" means that a person is unable to
communicate an unwillingness to act because the person is
unconscious, asleep, or is otherwise physically limited.
3. "Physically incapacitated" means that a person has a
bodily impairment or handicap that substantially limits the person's
ability to resist or flee. emphasis added...emphasis added

Is it odd that I suspect you would love to ban all civilian firearm ownership and if you were in a position of power you would find every available excuse to ban all ownership that you could.
