Here's a wonderful scenario:
An aging Alzheimer's victim keeps a gun in the house for protection. He is at the stage where he is lucid one moment and suffering dementia the next. One afternoon, his wife goes out to check the mail, comes back in and he doesn't recognize her due to the Alzheimer's. He reaches into the drawer on the end table, pulls out a gun, and shoots her dead.
Yep. The great equalizer.
Here's a reality check - when diagnosed with mental illness - that is an automatic disqualification of federal firearm license.
